Too clever but i escape with a draw because my opponent believed my play

The game from an otb Club Championship between Alan Llewellyn and George Horne played on 2nd Sept 2020

This is the position from the game after the 31st move, i play the way too clever 32 Nxf7?? Kxf7 was the obviouse reply but after 33 Rd8 the obvious 33...Rc3+ seems to fail to 34 Kd2 when the rook on c3 is hanging but after 34... Nc6!! 35 Rd7+ Ke8 or 35 Kxc3 Nxd8 white is busted loosing his rook for the rook. The move before the diagram i had set up the complex plan to win a pawn with the move 31 Ke3 because i wanted to reply Kd2 if he moved his rook to get his knight out of an attack

Here is a list of FIDE registered tournaments in England. There will be a separate entry for each section of each event (e.g. Golders Green Rapidplay = 4 sections, 4 registrations). If you see any of mine missing, do let me know! 

Only games where at least one of the players has a published standard FIDE rating will be rated, and included in the rating calculations of the unrated player. Where both players are rated, the game will affect both players and will be included in the calculations for both players.
