Doubled pawns can be good!

Yesterday, I talked about relative analysis of chess concepts, piece value, and positions.  I noted that I sometimes doubled pawns can be good.  I just ended a game in which my doubled pawns won the game.  It may be an odd position, but it is good to illustrate the concept.  So here's the game with some quick comments.  See especially how doubled pawns were used to win the game starting at move 45.

    46. Nd4+ instead of 46.Na3 ?? . Wins the b3 pawn and the game for the white.
