That was a very aesthetic game Ian, but you must have been frustrated to have missed so many opportunities. It's quite possible that had you been playing against a lower rated player you'd have spotted some of those? I mean psychologically you assume a higher rated player will have a plan for these situations, but I've come to learn that they don't always.
Not that I'm experienced enough to give you any Chess advice, but I'd say based on the above that you clearly have the ability to get into winning positions against these guys, so just need to take that extra few minutes in such positions to work out if you're missing the obvious or not.
Hope it helps.
