Originally posted by Bobla45Hi Bobla.At move 48 you play f6,when instead Kb4 wins you the game.The idea is: when he advances his kingside pawns,you give up your f-pawns and defend your h-pawn with your bishop.He'll have to give his knight for your b-pawn and then the h-pawn wins you the game 'cause it promotes on a light square,and you have a lightsquared bishop.At least,that's what I think 😉.The final position seems drawish,though there might be a win if you relocate your king to the kingside.I doubt it though.I'm still toying with that position,I'll post my conclusion here later😴.
In game #182575, I agreed to a draw with Tony, a.k.a. Electric Dad. Did I jump the gun here? If any of you think this is a win could you point out the proper path for me?
ps: take this advise for what it's worth,I'm no chess genius😕

Bob, you should have played on.
I'm pretty sure you were winning, starting with the obvious move 53...Kc1, intending to bring the king over to the kingside and pick off White's pawns.
White is tied down by your passed pawn on the queenside, but cannot take it, as that would allow you to swap pieces and get a winning pawn ending.
