Maybe that I already gave you some help with my choice of opening.
It should be enough for the whole game 
Now if YOU want to help make it a win for someone, why not

hehehe,while I'll try not to help,but I can make no promises  .I think I've done well so far.Much better than previous encounters anyways.We still have a battle to fight on the queenside.
My plan was simple really:
I cannot anticipate a major mistake on your part,and if I muddle up a mid game too much,I am apt to fall prey to one of your devious schemes,so,the plan was to try for a quick endgame where "mistakes" don't have to be so big to be crucial.
The part of the plan that hasn't gone so well is to get to an endgame with clear advantage.....any advantage for that matter

Finally and after many moves of preparation, I can play b5. It’s easier to do it in the main line of the Ruy-Lopez after 3 ... a6 than in the Bird ! But at last I’ve done it. To know if it’s a good move is yet another question ...

I was talking about the little danger of 31 Bxf3+ ... But you took care of it.
I don’t see no forced draw and would prefer to defend my title with style (a victory that is) if I can.

I will come back to the forced draw later.
Oh yes.In the heat of battle,I'd forgotten about your impressive winning streak.I'm sure you would like to keep that intact.In that ambition lies my best chance

Yes, my ambition has always been one of my weaknesses. But I begin to like my position and don’t see no overwhelming danger. Let’s play and let’s see.
For the draw, it was after 31 ... Bc6, right (I’ve looked at it again) ? I only saw you would get a new queen by promotion and didn’t lookmuch further, but true enough that by putting my rooks on the second row, I could have forced a draw, or even mate if you want a new queen immediatly. Not that I wanted to do draw anyway and not that you would allow to be mated in one move.

Funny enough, I can still play 32 ... Bc6, and if you play 33 dxc6 it’s a draw, but if you want to try to win with 33 Rfb1 Bxf3+, 34 Kg2 axb5, 35 Bxb5 Rxb5!, 36 Rxb5 Rg2+, 37 Kh1, it’s still a draw, unless I can set a mating net. But I won’t look for it now, as you have the draw with the other variation for sure. It’s just for the sake of analysing.

Yes that was what I looked at.31...Bc6 32.bxc6 Rxb2 33 c7 Rgg2 then either Re1 or Rc1.Doesn't really matter.Then black is well advised to take the perpetual.

Well, you play fast indeed 
Maybe that all my moves are expected
I am at work and won't post blindfold
Expect an answer this evening or tomorrow morning, European time 
Yes the draw was unavoidable for black in the 31 Bc6 variation, because being a queen down is not very advantageous

And I’ve taken back my “Benko” pawn.
