Black is ahead in material but I think white is better off with attacking chances.

Justify if this is possible? what?

And 40/120 is 40 moves in 120 minutes or you lose on time.

PROVE whether or not this position is possible to reach in any game.

And also, try to be more clear: Who is winning? Show some lines and to figure out if this game is drawish, leaning black, leaning white.

FIRST off, I must make a comment before I address the question. RAMNED, and here I thought I was debating with someone who actually understood chess. Jeez. When you asked the question of what is OTB 40/120, you may as well have asked who moves first, white or black. For ANYONE who is remotely into chess, OTB 40/120 is BASIC COMMON knowledge. OUCH!! I am afraid I cannot engage you in any further debate, because of this.

Now, as to the question. Yes, it is a legal position. After a thorough analyzation by Fritz, it is .06 in favor of white, a DEAD DRAW. White's next move is either Rc1, setting up the pushing of the passed pawn on d5, Or Be6+, pressuring the king. AS you might suspect, I personally favor Be6+ for hte simple fact that it puts black on the defensive while constricting its breathing room. It is far too early for any other predictions.

Ok. I'm ready. I'm ready for the onslaught of trolls.

Be6+ looks good cheater1

The position is way to complex for me to find a plan though.
