This one was played in a tournament called 2014 August Grand Seven Fourteen III. I ended up being on fourth place in the final standings with 93 points. For a win players received 3 points and for a draw 1 point. Despite the rather large rating difference, rlsomga was able to keep the game rather evenly fought up to the move 26...Rfe8. Rlsomga played the move 27.e4, which combined with a previous inaccuracy, add up to a position that was clearly in my favor.

The move 27.e4 was bad because it resulted in a serious of exchanges, after which rlsomga had an isolated pawn on e4, which required the protection of my opponent's pieces. The game continued 27...dxe4 28.Nxe4 Nxe4 29.fxe4 Rd6 and then rlsomga played 30.a3, which was the final nail in the coffin. The 30th move by my opponent seems to be just a waste of a move, since there is no reason that I can see what would be the purpose of pushing the pawn to a3. It was not threatened, nor did the pawn advance threaten anything. I continued with the most logical move 30...Red8, with the idea of invading the second rank with my rook. It also prevented rlsomga from moving either of the rooks to d1, since I would just trade both rooks and then take the undefended e-pawn with my bishop. In the game I was able to double my rooks on the second rank and the game was soon over after that.

Out of the three games of reference I was able to find in the 2500+ rated category, all were rather short draws, this was the longest one and the only one that I am adding at the moment.
