          You have some of the moves wrong 43. Qh5e4 is impossible for example - do you mean d5?
          And some of black's king moves have an extra letter in them after the K: Kgh7g8 instead of Kg7g8 presumably

              I'm right though, there's no forced draw there?

              43.Qe8+ instead of 43.Qf5 seems to keep the perpetual.

              oops, that's what it was supposed to be. I'll crawl back into my cave lol

              Look at the first pgn, forced draw?

              Well personally i'd say being a rook up is normally enough to win. Just exchange Queens?

              Sorry? 🙄 ... second black move?

              Can't be bothered to go past that, it must have been a classic game! 😀

              No, it doesn't appear to be a perpetual. It is a known pattern that one side can't perpetual with a lone queen vs king and queen in the corner unless the position has other factors that keep the king out of g7.

              Unknown pattern to me.
              Now I know that means little but,from the game,after 43.Qf7+,how can black escape the perp other than by trading queen for knight?I don't see it 😳
