Was at the Edinburgh Club swapping tricks, traps and opening ideas
with some of Scotland's elite.
This popped up which I managed to get.
White to play and draw. (don't know who composed it.)
Don't just post the key move [hidden]. Anybody can do that.
I want to see the workings in action.
Please use the PGN thingy to show the two critical lines.
Use two PGN's, no comments needed.

Woohoo, I beat a 2200 player.
Obvious is Bd6+ (forced), QxB, then Bh3+ followed by Rxh7+ - rook moves along "h" file if queen captures it's a stalemate. The other drawing lines are equally obvious. The bishop and pawn endgame is a draw if black forces white to trade rook for queen.

Even I had the first 3 moves worked out.
My rating is almost 1000 pionts less than RJ, but I bet I could beat him OTB.
