Here's an endgame I had a little while back against a strong player.  I came out of the middlegame up a pawn, but I wasn't able to convert it to a win, though I felt like I had some chances.  Any good endgame players have any suggestions or feedback about where I went wrong?  I'd appreciate it!

20.Rxd7 ? why not Qc3. 40. why not Ra2 look after your a-pawn ? Could you not hang on to your queen for a bit longer before you exchange it.

43....e5  44.Rxg6 again to help your a-pawn

That is a very good suggestion, richie_and_oprah, I hadn't really considered 38.a4.  It does look like it gives White some good winning chances.
