Looks like I made a bunch of blunders during the middle game.
aperbag:
I allowed CM to play out the remainder of the game out of curiosity:
52....Re7+
53. Kf3 Re1
54. g4 Rf1+
55. Kg2 Rd1
56. Ra5 a6
57. h5 Kg7
58. g5 Rd2+
59. Kg3 Rd3+
60. Kf4 Rd4+
61. Kf5 Rd1
62. h6+ Kh7
63. Re5 Rf1+
64. Ke6 Kg6
65. Kd6 Rf8
66. c5 a5
67. Re6+ Kxg5

I thought that was a surprising move! I never would have sacrificed the Rook like that.
84...Kxa5
85. c8=Q Kxb5
86. Qe8+ Kb6
87. Qxf7 Kc5
88. Qf4 Kd5

91. Kd6 Kf8
92. Ke6 Ke8
93. Qe7# *
It would have been a long fight with perfect play! Glad I resigned.
I was tempted to continue (I hate resigning unless a mate is right around the corner), but I knew you wouldn't slip up.
If anybody else wants a game analyzed, just let me know.
