  HeMateMe: Black has just resigned (or was it a time forfeit?) in this closed position. How does white finish it? The only thing that seems to open the position is 54. B-e2 followed by a4. But even this doesn't seem guaranteed to get the opposition and allow white's king to break into the position.

  HeMateMe: Ahh...I considered that but thought black just plays B-e8 and keep the position closed. Didn't realize that his Bishop has to leave the saving diagonal. Well done!
