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.

Excellent!
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.

You can't win 'em all. Especially if you are a redneck like me.

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.

In a fast game you may be able to beat me OTB. But at regular tournment time controls of 40/2, SD/1, d/5 that they used in the most recent World Open in July for the section that I would have played in, I doubt it.

I'd play him if they handcuffed him to the table and ensured that there were no other metallic objects anywhere near him. 😵

There's only one way to find out. Where do you live? Lets meet up and play.
