OCL Round 3
I won my game against my opponent Samjk, giving me a new FICS high rating of 1718. It wasn't a pretty win, as I didn't have the initiative until the endgame. My opponent stumbled once the endgame was reached and offered a draw, which I fairly quickly declined. The rest was a matter of technique, as they say.
I had intended on posting my analysis, but my Fritz ate it! I got done analyzing it and went to save it, but something got screwed up and I lost all my work. I wasn't about to recreate it. Here is the game in all its ugliness:

Re: "The rest was a matter of technique..."
You might find this post interesting.
A funny comment, which probably has a fair amount of truth to it (even though Steve's a simple patzer like ourselves). However, as will be seen when I post the game, the rook ending was a technical win for me (and I think my opp knew that when he offered me the draw).
