 Yes, but I tend to be very self-critic about my own play. And I know my
 feelings during this game. I felt that it should be possible to put my
 5 pawns in an optimal position before moving the king to the queenside.
 But I just couldn't figure out how and felt that I lost a whole lot of
 control. Maybe typical when a lot of knowledge patterns are missing...;)

 That's true - and it should at least be possible for white to reach
 a rook ending with 4 vs 5 pawns.
