From my game on board 4 - Black to play and win.

White had just played 37 Kg3 which was unexpected - I'd thought 37 g3 was the move. I'd already decided to swap off on f4, and when the opportunity arose I didn't stop to consider any better options. There is a win here for Black with 37 ... a5. White doesn't really have any moves, and Black can force the swap-off at pretty much any time, so get the passed pawn up the board as quickly as possible.
