my bong and i thought it was a great variation when we looked at it together. now me and my bong think we should take another hit and not come up with any more variations

I made a mistake earlier, too, but I don't have a bong as an excuse. 😞

well, if you live nearby, i'll pass it to you...

make no mistakes and see no wrong
after a good hit from the mighty bong.

You can't make progress with the h-pawn, but it looks like you should be able to get the rest of black's pawns and end up with a and c pawns--that should be a win. Eg. 1. Rf6+ Kg8 2. Bh6 Nxh5 3. Rxe6 a5 4. Be3 Rf5 5. Ra6 a4 6. c4 and black's knight and king are too far to defend the pawns.

Well I'll be...
I suppose that's why you're 1700. I thought about the first few moves of what you've suggested when I was at the tournament: losing the h pawn, but then capturing the e6 pawn after, but I wasn't going to press the issue too much because I didn't really have that much faith that I could beat my opponent if the situation became less threatening for him.
