here is a game i played againgst a handy county player i did well but lost in the end what i wanted to know was is there any better way in the end game to defend the h file  and was the queen exchange good bad or vext

How did you lose? its a drawn positon !

Possibly time??

Oh wait... bishop to h3... yeah..

I noticed that you were black... oops.

27... Bd7 planning Be6 could hold. The only thing your bishop can do is to defend it's pawns. It's trapped inside.

i think ef was bad at the time it looked like a better move it seemed to colapse from there bd7 does seem good advise the position seems better the h file is still a little tricky but probably better
