  perfidious: It may be presumed that, in a game where the board was in view, this one should have ended twenty moves (or more) sooner.

  FSR: <perfidious> Zhao Xue hadn't had this ending since A Zatonskih vs Zhao Xue, 2011 the year before, so she'd probably forgotten that it's a trivial draw.

  perfidious: <FSR> More'n likely.

As noted in your forum, a pun sprang into my empty cranium: Once Was Not Enough (with all respect to our sterling contributor of that name).

  Phony Benoni: Why <84...Kf3??>,. After 84...Bg3, Black will be able to promote the pawn.

  FSR: Around 35 years ago I was the TD at a tournament where the players - Tony Sillars, a 1900, and the late Jose Rodriguez, an expert - reached this ending, with Jose on the nominally superior side. Tony knew that the ending was a draw, but Jose somehow had never encountered this ending before and was surprised to find that he couldn't figure out how to make progress. The players called me over and, with the consent of both players, I told them that it was indeed a draw.

  wwall: I had this exact same ending in my first rated tournament game, the 1969 American Open in Santa Monica. I had the bishop and rook pawn and couldn't win. Hated endgames ever since.
