31. Bxc7
I can force the draw easily in this position by exchanging the minor pieces.

 
31... Rxc7
Now it may look like White is in trouble, but I noticed a little finesse move.

 
32. d6
I sacrifice my Queen for the forced draw. The smallest mistake on Black's part here, means white wins the game fairly easily. Black must take the Queen to maintain the draw.

id=Chrisobee realizes this and quickly offers me the draw. **** I was extremely happy with this result, despite finding a win later when I did the deep computer analysis - with human help, of course! I did the best I could in this game. **** Can you do your best and find the line or variations that force the draw? Without computer help, of course! **** Send me your solutions or refutations, if you so feel inclined to do so. At the very least, I will know some other people out there are reading this and hopefully benefiting from my annotation. It helps psychologically to get some sort of feedback. **** My thanks to Jstevens1 for suggesting that I ask this question at the end.
