Originally posted by ketchuploverI thought so at the time. I was black, defending a bad position. I wonder if I had a forced draw at the end. I thought so and it ended in stalemate but did white have a way to force me out of my cubby hole and take my last pawn? I think this is the longest game I ever played at RHP.
61.Kf5 seems better imo. The final position is stalemate.

I think white had a won ending.Instead of 63.Bf6 I play 63.Be3.
It goes something like this
[pgn][Event "?"]
[Site "?"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Nieuwe partij invoeren"]
[Black "?"]
[Result "*"]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "b7/P6p/3K2kP/3p2P1/3B4/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
[PlyCount "31"]
1. Be3 Kf5 2. Kc7 d4 3. Bd2 Bf3 4. Kb8 Bd5 5. a8=Q Bxa8 ...[text shortened]... Kg6 12. Ke4 Kf7 13. Kf5 Ke7 14. g6
hxg6+ 15. Kxg6 Ke6 16. h7[/pgn]
toet.

Originally posted by sonhouseI think once White played 63.Bf6 and allowed the d-pawn and g-pawn to be traded off, it was pretty much a draw.

BTW, you missed a shot earlier in the game with White's overworked queen:
15...Bb5 16.Qd2 (or Qc2 or Qd1) Bxe2 17.Qxe2 Rxc3 🙂

Originally posted by Mad RookI saw the first part but thought he had saved things with the knight move. Too bad, eh.

Originally posted by Mad RookCould 18.Nc5 have allowed White to trap the rook (Qd2, etc.)? After ...Rxf6 or ...Rxc5 material is roughly equal though Black is arguably better. I haven't tried this on a board: just a casual on-screen look. Not sure what the positional consequences are either way.
