How to win a dead drawn position when your opponent doesn't make any mistakes.

It's easy, you just run out the clock! From a Fischer Random contest a few nights ago, I give you the following. Mostly it's just a bad game by me, but after ending up deep in the soup, I put my head down and fought hard. I did actually have a win late, but my old nemesis (technical endgames) reared it's ugly head again. Finally, in a Rook + King versus Rook + King ending, I ran out his clock. There's something to be said for good time management; namely that it's better than bad time management.
