Here is one of my most interesting endgames against a friend "bor".  at the later part of the middle game, it looked like its going to be a draw, but further moves proved later that my bishop tandem with the King can squeeze a good win and a good study reference to one kind of an endgame maneuver. It took more than 80 moves though.. pls. browse... and thank you.

I don't discount how my friend "bor" chose those moves, instead of what u said "shuttling his King around h8", the bottomline is playing the endgame from his heart and sees probably some interesting options, after all we are only human.   thank you horcrux for spending your time ...

Thanks for the game.  Wonderful use of the bishop.
