    I do hope I am not being rude, but I was curious about your own game, I thought your had good prospects for a win prior to 30 Nd4 .... did you overlook the combination leading to the Repetition, or did you allow it ... seeing there was no advantage to the overall team result to be gained. Still the final combination is Elegant, no?
