Mar-14-04		Creator of Time: why draw, white's pretty much winning

Mar-14-04		skakmiv: As drukenknight says:"SHOW ME YOUR WINNING LINE!".

Mar-14-04		MoonlitKnight: I plugged this into Fritz. After a long think he evaluated the position as slightly in favour of black. Now Fritz may not be the best on endgames, but he is a lot better than me for sure.

Mar-14-04		Vischer: Shredder8 seems to think that black is a slight bit better, but the position is still a draw.

Mar-14-04		tamar: Optically it looks like there should be chances for White in the final position, but his and are awkwardly placed. Black is even threatening to come in on e4 with the so...a likely line is 46 c5 e4 47 e2 h2 48 f2 f3 and should White take a walk with his , Black's can cause trouble. 46 Ke2 Ke4 just drops the c4

Jan-30-06		goragoragora: Indeed it's not, Moonlit. That's a WRONG-COLORED rook's pawn there!

Jan-30-06		hayton3: Precisely - no calculation needed. The only way Black is going to win is by queening his last remaining pawn. However, it is a rook pawn whose queening square is the opposite colour of his bishop. This is almost always a draw provided the defending king can make it to the corner in time. It only requires a minute or so to understand and is an important drawing motif to remember.

Apr-20-10		arjay: thanks for sharing your thoughts, now its clear to me that it is a draw
