No pawns on the board.

Is this a win the majority piece holder, or a draw, with perfect play?

Thanks, looks like a forced win in 15 moves or so, or a draw, depending on the next moves.

Umm, you are not allowed to consult an end game database during a live game. That would be cheating and is against site rules, just in case there is any confusion..
