i'd say it is "positionally" lost....It might take 20 moves for the win but i'm sure it will come as chessmaster slowly squeezes and make his bishop duo useful....
but, that doesn't mean the game is pointless to continue, remember, the main objective wasn't to win but learn

I learnt not to follow this strategy again !
Why not to surrender and play another game ???
this is lost , if we follow its just to see a slow agony ...
its 0-1
I don't understand why it is lost, all of a sudden. We're up a pawn, we have an inferior position, but I showed a small combination (Bc8-Be6) that can free us in exchange for one pawn. We certainly have chances to draw.
GM Timman resigned a few times in games where his position seemed lost, but in fact he had a won position.

I have a suggestion. Since I'm the only one that wants to continue the game, offer the current position as a set-piece, and I'll see if I can get a draw out of it.
As long as some people want to continue playing, there is no reason to stop unless blindcheesecake finds it unmanageable, or the position is really lost.
Admittedly, Black is at a disadvantage, but it is often instructive to play such a position.
Looking at that I think we only have one option, and that is Exd3 (e.p.) otherwise 10-20 moves down the line I can see the d and e pawns marching to be become Big bad Queens....{if we don't take i think e4 will become very vunerable...}
But why would chess master just leave a pawn for the taking? It must have some plan like maybe pushing the e pawn or something.
