At 38:43 red Queen captures green knight would have been best. Yellow queen F2 followed by green queen H2 would not have happened since it would mean yellow forfeiting first and second place to green and red respectively. Also G1 square is secured by the rook and the queen would have provided security from that square against any threats from green.
Another beautiful game. Thank you for sharing. I have a question on your move that put the queen in front of your pawn though. Qk9 looked indeed like it would have prevented Rk14 from attacking your pawn, but k14 was actually protected by yellows queen on d7 and so to me it looks like Qk9 actually could have lost you the pawn? I'm not as strong a player, so curious to hear if you agree with this analysis. Really amazed that there weren't more mistakes by yellow and green in this long endgame. I get really tense and blunder a lot in those situations.
Oh yes, you are right. I missed that k14 was protected by the yellow queen. And about blundering... oh yeah, I do it a lot myself but am very happy like in this game, when it does not happen too much ;-)

Yes, I missed that one.

At 29:40...just ignoring the green rook and going for a second queen might have been better I think
Yes, may be you are right.
