When the arbiter came over it was something like
White : Kd2, Rc7
Black : Ke4, Rh3, Bg4
and the final position was
White : Kc1, Rc8
Black : Kd4, Rh2, Bd3
Suggested move is Bc4, then put the King on c3 and it's not far from the Philidor Position

I personally believe I am within my rights to want to play on.
"Ulf Andersson won the position twice within a year, once against a grandmaster and once against a candidate grandmaster; and grandmaster Keith Arkell has won it 18 times out of 18"
So I'm thinking if a Grandmaster can lose that position I might have some chances, admittedly I have a poor grasp on endings, but come on!
Just for clarity, it was a very good tournament and I still thoroughly enjoyed being there.
