This is that rare case, a draw under PP rules, but it would have been a win for black under standard rules. Usually, it's the other way around, where a standard draw would be decisive under PP rules. This also happens to be the first draw between Klaus and me, out of the hundreds of games we have played both on LG and Gamerz, as well as the few games we played face to face and on the Zillions of Games module. We might have also played on K2z, but I don't recall Klaus ever playing on Game Center.

After |41.w9 42.u8 black can prevent white from connecting.

37.t6 caught me by surprise. |38.s4 39.q6 40.p4 41.n5 42.o4 43.o5 44.v9 45.w9 46.u8 47.r5 would have won for white, so I had to take the draw.

|26.w7 27.u9 28.u6 29.o8 30.p9 31.s8 would not have worked for black.

|28.s15 would not have gained a tempo for black because of 29.u18.

|22.s12 looks like an improvement. I don't see how white could have stopped me in that case.

Uh, |22.s12 23.t12 24.o10 25.s10 and that doesn't look like an improvement for black after all, sorry.
