That's messed up. I'd have gone for the draw too

When I play I usually check if there is a mate when their king is not behind something

Well I felt there was a mate, but didnt find it as I was also at 20 seconds left....
30.Qc7+ is the mate, no?

Perhaps instead of Qc8+--Qc6+?
Qc7+; Ka6; Qb7+; Ka5; Qxa7+; Qa6; Qc5+; Ka4; Qxd4+; Qc4; Qxc4+; Kxa3; Qb3#
I was referring to move 31. Qc6 instead of Qc8

That may be why you didn't see the mate: You click the engine button too often. Get used to finding and proving it yourself. Not saying I am better in that regard, had I followed the hint of many chess authors, which is, not to use any engines until 2500 ELO, then I would be 2600 ELO now.
