mmmm seems impossible for me to get a draw so I'll try to resist as long as possible.

Please don't play on JUST to play on; it is unspotsman-like, a waste of time, and disrespectful of your opponent. I'm not saying that you should resign in the current position, since you still have chances for counterplay; but if your position becomes hopeless, I'd hope you'd not make me prove it.

Of course I'm still playing my best way but that was just a notice. I think I can still have some attacks, it's stupid to resign now, of course. And I am proving all that now.

If I'm careful, this is better for me. With Queens on the board you had better attacking chances. Also, I'm guessing that I'm the better endgame player.

"Attacks" is the wrong word. You do have some threats, though.

Thanks for the game. I thought it looked a little drawish if you traded Bishops on move 14, though I still had a slight advantage. Regarding the Queen trade, there's an adage which says: When up trade pieces, when down trade pawns.

I wouldn't mind another, but I'm going to try to start the tournament this week. If it's practical (and I think it will be), I would like the next game to count torwards the tournament. Even if it isn't practical, start the thread and I'll play. (Your turn as White.):goodjob:
 
When up material, it is usually good to trade pieces because it becomes much harder for the side who's down to defend his Pawns (read as: Queens-to-be) or launch a counter attack. Conversely, when down material you want to try to reduce the Pawns becase material advantages, without Pawns, are often drawish; even if it is winnable, it is often extremely dificult to realize.
