What if black just plays h5? My king is a very agile dancer, able to outlast all of blacks pawns, as you see in the game.
AKA, Kf2-Kg1-Kf2 until black runs out of pawn moves.

Joined 06 May '08 Moves 1908 Great stuff! 25. f4 must have felt pretty darn good to play. How long before that did you see it coming?

Great stuff! 25. f4 must have felt pretty darn good to play. How long before that did you see it coming? I saw that his position was completely crippled after Nb5, but I couldn't see (or force!) Zugzwang. Even with White's improvements, though, I still have an amazing(ly won) position.
It felt GREAT!
