Is this position completely drawn? - 2006/10/08 06:56
It arose from the following game in which I had Black:
1. Nf3 e6 2. g3 d5 3. Bg2 c5 4. d3 Nc6 5. O-O Nf6 6. Re1 d4 7. e4 e5
8. c3 Bg4 9. Bg5 Be7 10. Qa4 Bxf3 11. Bxf3 dxc3 12. bxc3 Qxd3 13. Re3
Qd7 14. Na3 O-O 15. Nc4 h6 16. Rd1 Qe6 17. Bxf6 Qxf6 18. Red3 Rfd8 19.
Be2 Rxd3 20. Rxd3 Rd8 21. Rd5 Qe6 22. Ne3 Bg5 23. Bg4 Qe7 24. Nf5 Qc7
25. Qd1 g6 26. Rxd8+ Nxd8 27. Nd6 h5 28. Bh3 Qa5 29. Qd5 Qxc3 30. Nxf7
Nxf7 31. Be6 Qf3 32. Qxe5 Qf6 33. Qb8+ Kg7 34. Bb3 Qe7 35. e5 Nxe5 36.
Qg8+ Kf6 37. Qd5 Ng4 38. Qf3+ Kg7 39. Qc3+ Bf6 40. Qxc5?? { An unfortunate blunder after a good game. Resigns. 40. ... Qxc5 41. Kg2
Qxf2+ 42. Kh3 Qxh2# }
However, were it not for the blunder, I was expecting to play :
40. Qf3 Qe1 41. Kg2 Nxf2 42. Qxf2 Qxf2+ 43. Kxf2
resulting in the following position:
FEN:
8/pp4k1/5bp1/2p4p/8/1B4P1/P4K1P/8 b - - 0 43
Yes, I know I missed 40. ... Bd4 but the game was played at 60 0 and I was getting low on time. I just wanted to transpose into what I thought was a winning endgame, even with the Bishops Of Opposite
Colors obstacle.
However, now I'm not entirely sure now that the game is won for black, even two pawns up. In fact I'm pretty sure it's not.
White is going to plant his king infront of my pawn at c2 and there's not much I can do about it. He can also double up my a pawns with a timely a4. Trying to weasel my king in through h6->g5->g4->h3 to eat the white pawns is too slow and the White bishop is going to get in behind me at some point from d5. I can't prevent it.
Would any endgame maestros mind weighing in on this? Is there any continuation that may help black out here?.
