Don't tell me how, as that would be cheating, experts, just calculate and draw your own conclusions, a simple yes or no will do. This game has already gone on for 50 moves, and I managed to reach this position, giving myself a slight chance to save myself, after my king was under fire the whole game and I even had to move my king like 20 times.
Analyzing the game, I can examine this: All the winning chances rest with white, black must draw.
White has connected passed pawns in the corner, a big winning advantage. It's also his move, giving him also a big advantage in this position.
BUT, Black's bishop is well placed and is better then white's knight IMHO, and Black has a single passed pawn of his own he can use as a distraction. Also, another feature in giving black drawing chances, is white's extra pawn is an h pawn, corner pawn. Both players kings seem well placed but black's is a little more centralized to where it needs to be IMHO.
So, can I draw this, or should I just hit the resign button? Personally I don't feel like playing a 75 plus move game that I will lose, bah. . . Just yes or no, should I bother?
Originally posted by mateuloseEven telling you whether a draw is managable constitutes a violation of the rules. You must manage your games on your own. In your position, I'd just play the best I can and hope to learn something about endgames.

Ok, thanks, I am new to RHP and didn't know extensively the rules. The mods will likely close this, but I recommend keeping it up until the game finishes to see if I can draw it, but I doubt I can. And the way this game is going, it could take several more days, argh, this game has given me a real headache!

Once finished you can ask every kind of analysis here.
edit:didn't see last post (I was typing)
I lost, that was the most RETARDED game I ever played. It was 3 pawns vs 3 pawns, king and pawn endgame, and his corner pawn was way better then my other pawn, that's one of the biggest injustices of chess I've ever seen, that and 2 knights vs a king doesn't win. 3 vs 3 K and P, he won, and quite unskillfully I may add. . . Maybe I shouldn't of killed the bishop for a knight and pawn, but at the time it seemed like the right thing to do. . .
