Obviously 58...Kc8 gives white winning chances (black's g pawn becomes a target). |

! Draw locked up. Black is now fully hemmed in behind his own pawns, and white can protect c7 from both b6 and b8. |

A frustration check that is easily sidestepped by returning to the righteous c7. |

And a draw was confirmed. I felt like I dodged a BIG bullet in this one. Many thanks to ricardopr for the great game. It was one of the more interesting endgames I've had in a while, and a pretty instructional game about counting squares. I hope you enjoyed it:) - Thomas |
