My best game vs Stockfish 8 AI

Sorry to state the obvious, but keeping pawns on both wings is essential for White's winning chances. Once it is down to 4 vs 3 on one wing Black should have excellent drawing prospects.

The engine gives 23.b3, that looks like a good suggestion. I've played around with that a bit, White will often give back one pawn but keep being one pawn up with pawn islands on both wings.
You can't win that ending. It looks like an easy draw for black. Your king is in a bad situation while black's king is ok. Besides, one extra pawn in rook endings usually is not enough, and this is specially true in the given position.
OK thank you guys, think so too.

I hoped for trading the last rook early and maybe get some winning chances by my 2 bishops supporting a pawnstorm, but that wasn´t possible here.

It's really not hard to even draw/ win against a GM with infinite take backs. If something doesn't go your way, just repeat the experiment until it does.
