Feb-17-06  blingice: Very good endgame, also very close. Is this another example of a ♔ just being on the right square when it transitioned into the endgame? Was Hruby ever winning?
Jan-11-07  Towershield: 50..c5?? was a blunder 50..Ke6, b5 or even Kg5 and the game would peter out to a draw.
May-20-21  cehertan: 57...h4! Looks very unclear still though it’s all a game of mathematics.

Good find! 57...h4 looks like an actual draw.

Both 57...h4 58. Kxa5 hxg3 59. hxg3 and 57...h4 58. Kxc5 hxg3 59. hxg3 are tablebase draws.
