Rc7 b5 looks awkward for white as Ne1 falls 33...Bc4 (3:27) 34.b3 (0:48) Be6 (0:27) 35.a3 (0:31) Rb2 (2:00) 36.b4 (0:36) Nd6 (0:40) 37.Kg1 (1:41) Rb3 (2:13) 38.Rxb3 (1:33) Bxb3 (0:05) 39.Bf1 (0:23) Kf7 (0:35) 40.Kf2 (0:06) Ke6 (0:56) 41.Ke3 (0:07)
KRMCHESS(2096) whispers: I think this should be drawn as position is too symmetrical so short of someone blundering I can't really see any way to win
KRMCHESS(2096) whispers: Even the loss of a pawn isn't necessarily curtains as sacrificing a piece for a pawn can get to a drawn ending 41...f5 (1:49) 42.Be2 (1:16) Bc4 (2:43) 43.Bd1 (1:22) Nb5 (0:58) 44.a4 (0:11) Nd4 (0:05) 45.Nc2 (1:04)

KRMCHESS(2096) whispers: This ending is very hard for white to hold as Bc2 can't protect g3 and h4 and after Nd4 white has no clear invasion point
KRMCHESS(2096) whispers: Other problem is that if black places all his pawns on dark squares Bc2 hits nothing 49.exf5+ (1:20) gxf5 (0:20) 50.Bd1 (0:04) Kd5 (0:24) 51.Kd3 (1:30) e4+ (0:14) 52.Ke3 (0:13) Ke5 (0:19) 53.Kd2 (0:52) h6 (5:09)
KRMCHESS(2096) whispers: White has a dilemma that if all the black pawns are on dark squares Bd1 can't ever hit them but if white places his on pawns on dark squares to try to get black pawn on light squares then white can't defend any of his pawns 54.Ke3 (2:09) Nc6 (0:36) 55.b5 (0:33) Ne7 (1:01) 56.Bc2 (5:36) Nd5+ (0:16) 57.Kd2 (0:18) Kd4 (0:13) 58.Bb3 (0:56) Ne3 (3:20) 59.Ke2 (0:54) Nc4 (0:57) 60.Ke1 (5:03) Kc3 (0:14) 61.Bd1 (0:15) Nb2 (2:30) 62.Bh5 (0:11) Nd3+ (1:45) 63.Ke2 (0:32) f4 (0:40) 64.g4 (0:31) Kd4 (0:26) 65.g5 (0:11) hxg5 (0:59) 66.hxg5 (0:09) f3+ (1:25) 67.Kf1 (0:21) Nf4 (0:59) 68.Bg4 (0:11) Ng6 (0:40) 69.Bh5 (0:33) Nh4 (0:29) 70.g6 (0:25) Nf5 (1:00) 71.Bg4 (0:40) Ne3+ (0:20) cjldx resigns 0-1
