white may look beastly with the queen...
but I think black is winning assuming that he knows what he's doing, and by his rating...
I assume that he does indeed know what he's doing...
well white isnt a 1400 rated pawnpusher either, so i guess he also knows what he is doing.

I really meant what you have said, that black does not have a forced win and that it is black that needs to take most care not to lose.
I (think I) would prefer the white side as it seems easier for black to make an incorrect move than white. Queens can be so devasta ...[text shortened]... f material imbalance I try to avoid as it is always extremely difficult to play for both sides.
Wait a minute.
You have written: "I can't see a forced win for black so surely white wins this unless black has a perpetual (which I also cannot see)."
And I have been written that "I dont see any forcing line which could prove advantage of white"
My fav that about guessing who would have won, is that you have 50% chance of being right...eh i vote white, mainly because I like the sea and I like devils...and when they come together it makes me happy
Black is obviously better.
1) His king is safe where white's king isn't
2) His pieces are centralized where white's pieces are on the edge; especially the knight on d4 is killing, since it can't be removed by any means
3) white is going to have to drop the f6 pawn, because he first has to spend a move to take away the threat of Bf3+ followed by a queen-fork on either b3 or c2.
If there's anybody who needs to be careful, it's white.

I placed the position into Chessmaster10, giving each side
20 minutes with 15 seconds per move. The results are below.
Some notes: I'm surprised the computer chose to opt for trading
the knight, seeing as it looked like it had such a strong position on
d4 and white's pawns were disorganized. Plus, I know Chessmaster
has an endgame tablebase, so I'm surprised again it would choose
to enter an endgame that proves victorious for white (unless of
course such an endgame has not been analzed thoroughly). Also,
white took much longer to move in the beginning, suggesting that
at first white was in a much more precarious position. I hope this helps.
Should anyone find possible improvements for black (Korch?),
I'd be happy to analyze that variation as well. I have an Intel
Centrino duo laptop (1.83 GHz), so the horsepower is there.
