I am not convinced of this. After:

41. Qc6 Qc7
42. Qxa6 Qc1+

Black picks off your b pawn with check, hardly a won game for white even if he does have the slightest edge.

, but how come you didn't put up any of your losses?

Your game against Stojic was very impressive and I think you probably have a slight edge in that final position. Any further comments regarding this particular game?

Not really, it was the last round of Ballarat and a draw secured me at least
=1st in the u2000 category, there was not much to play for in the last position. Thanks for your feed back Calvin!

Oh, um... can't I just win the pawn on f6??

He still has 2 pieces for the Queen and Black's pawns are doubled. I think Mr Lyon's resignation here was premature even though he is clearly losing. Nevertheless I would have kept fighting. I have won games with a greater material deficits than this before!

Before b4 I saw:

1.Nd5 NxN 2.PxN Bg5 -+

1.Nb1 BxN 2.PxN NxP! and then Bg5+ -+

1.Na4 NxP -+
