"Piano Piano" tournament, Chess.com, 2020
The forward f-pawn is going to fall. After some Rook moves, I decided to exchange my beloved "Jerome pawns" for my opponent's Queenside pawns.
32.Rc1 Kf8 33.Rc8+ Re8 34.Rc4
37.Re4 Kf6 38.Rh4 h6 39.Rg4 g5 40.Re4 Ke7 41.Ra4 a6 42.Rc4 Bb8
43.Rb4 Kd6 44.Rxb7 Kxd5 45.Rb6 a5 46.Rb5 Kxe6 47.Rxa5 Kd7 
It looked like my opponent was seeing a balanced game, too.
After the game I asked Stockfish 12 if I could run my pawns. It said, Not Really: 55.a4 Be7 56.Kg2 Rd6 57.Rb5+ Ka6 58.Re5 Bd8 59.Re4 Ka5 60.f4 gxf4 61.Rxf4 Rd2+ 62.Rf2 Rd3 63.Rf5+ Kb4 64.Rb5+ Kc3 65.a5 Rd6 66.Kf3 Ra6 67.b4 Ra7 68.Rb8 Bg5 69.Rb6 Kc4 70.a6 h5 71.b5 Be7 72.Rb7 Rxb7 73.axb7 Bd6 74.Ke4 Kxb5 75.Kf5 Kb6 76.Kg5 Kxb7 77.Kxh5 and Black's Bishop will cover the Queening square for my remaining pawn. Draw.
draw agreed
I did not want to exchange Rooks, as I wanted a piece to help out on both sides of the board.
After the game, Stockfish 12 preferred 34.Rc3, but I am not sure why. Perhaps it was to anticipate the need to protect my h-pawn.
34...Ke7 35.b3 Kf6 36.Kf3 Kxf5
Well, I had my connected passed pawns, but I could not see how to advance them safely, while protecting my Kingside.
48.Rb5 Kc6 49.Rf5 Re6 50.Ra5 Kb6 51.Rd5 Bd6
52.Rf5 Be7 53.Rd5 Bc5 54.Rf5 Bd6 55.Rd5

55...Bc5 56.Rf5 Bd6 57.Rd5
A very good game from my opponent, who I outranked by 200 rating points.
