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.

FEN 1kB2B1R/1P5p/8/8/8/3q2p1/5bP1/7K w - - 0 1
Invert Board PGN Headers Comments

[FEN "1kB2B1R/1P5p/8/8/8/3q2p1/5bP1/7K w - - 0 1"]

1. Bd6+ {It has to all done with check to stop the mates which RJ missed.} 1... Qxd6 {It has to be taken else White mates. The White King cannot move, it's easy to force Black to take the pawn and Rook, but how do you get Black to take the Bishop?} 2. Bh3+ {The answer is you don't.} 2... Kxb7 3. Rxh7+ {If the Black King goes to a6,b6 or c6 then Rh6 pinning the Queen to the King and after Qxh6, theh3 Bishop is pinned. Stalemate.} 3... Kb8 4. Rh8+ Kc7 {So the King jeads toward the White Rook.} 5. Rh7+ Kd8 6. Rd7+ Qxd7 7. Bxd7 {Draw wether or not Black takes the Bishop.}

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.
