Game 555465 ended in a draw with an interesting position of black pawn and bishop protecting one another so that the white king cannot take either one of those. If black had made a king move 56... Kb1 to support his pawn promotion at a1 on his next move, then after an exchange of the new black queen for the white bishop, couldn’t black’s king have moseyed on over to the f or g file to help promote his king’s knight pawn to a queen? Or was there still some way white could have drawn?
