    In what can only be described as an amazing seesaw battle ..the MM6 jumps way ahead in material ...only to then fall way behind in material ...only to then stumble into a winning endgame which tied the match at 1.5-1.5

    White may not be able to win this ending, but he should be able to draw it.
    It looks like white made the mistake of allowing black's passed pawn to advance and his King to come down to protect it without setting up a barrier.
