Game 1478380
I tried it out in Fritz. It couldn't win with black, with best play, of course. There's always a chance white would blunder, slight but there nevertheless. So i guess it boils down to the value of your time. Maybe you could play another twenty moves and white would hallucinate for a moment and throw the draw away. Since it s almost impossible to lose, i'd play a few more moves until i was assured white knew what he was doing (probably the case) and go for the draw.
Nice to get this so thoroughly (spelling?) analyzed. :-)
Thanks for the effort and time. I feel confident I made the right call. ;-)
[edit]
the plan I had, was to get my bishop to f1. but for that to work he had to allow me to advance the passed pawn a little more. I think I saw a possible way to get an advantage by leaving the pawn out as food for his king on b3. Since I (in one sideboard scenario I played) had a chance to get my H pawn to queen.
