cadavre-opa-: I think it'll still end as a draw, over the last 5 or 6 moves you've gone from the winning side of the draw to the losing side

Draw
After 46...Qd1+ 47.Kh2 Qh5+ 48.Kg1 Qd1+ 49.Kh2 Qh5+ we have a perpetual draw position.
White can't play Kf2 because of Qf1+! & mate to follow.

Moves
Since we all agreed to the draw position & cadavre had made conditional moves, I made move 48...Qd1+, 49...Qh5+, 50...Qd1+ & 51...Qh5+ repeating the same position & then offering a draw.

Congratulations everyone, well played.

I promised I'd explain my 46th move, which is where I forced it to be a draw. This is taken from my notes on the game: -

45...Qxg4+
Game is drawn, short of silly 46th move.
Two obvious moves are 46.Rg2 or 46.Kh2 which are immediate draws. Might get some play out of 46.Qg2, but concerned about losing the pawn on a4 which is what gives me the slight edge in the game.
Likely lines
46.Rg2 Qd1+ 47.Kh2 Qh5+ 48.Kg1 Qd1+
46.Kh2 Qh4+ 47.Kg2 Qg4+ 48.Kh2 Qh4+
Only other move is 46.Kh1, which loses for me.
If 46.Qg2 they can't swap queens, then only way to stop me promoting is sacrifice bishop for pawn. Most probable response is Qd4, which wins the passed pawn and sets us back into a draw. Unlikely they won't see it.
I think Rg2, with the aim of showing the blatantly obvious three-fold. They either take it, or they try and be adventurous again and give me the game.
