My hardest fought game to date

Wow, this one was a killer. It took at least an hour and a half to play. I was up material with a good position but made mistakes toward the end. I'm not sure if I was getting tired or something. It was a great game and we agreed to play again the next time we meet. Man, I need to take a nap now!

Paul,

Hey thanks! You know, I was just reading up on the Lucena endgame too. I'm going to look over your variation tonight.

PS
