The same thing you do when your opponent refuses a draw any other time; play it out.

1. wait for 3x same position and claim a draw.

or

2. wait for 50 moves without a pawn move and claim draw.

...and please change your profile picture. ;-)

Force your opponent to take the pawn.

Attempt to stalemate your opponent.

NO he cant win this is meant to be a draw. In king and pawn endings like this if it leads to check its generally a draw and black would need his king infront of the pawn in opposition (king faces king) so in this case blacks 65th move would be Kf3  66. Kf1...g2+ 67.Kg1 with no way to promote his pawn. As for what to do NOTHING u cant make them accept it so if they want to continue then play it out untill they see it really is a draw by stalemate!....Cool

Heh, i looked at the game the wrong way. I thought the person that posted this was playing black. Playing white, just play it out.

Your right! but none the less its still a drawn game. There is no way for black to make in-roads unless white really stuffs up....Cool

 Only if you consider a draw a win.

 Please back up your words with a diagram. I'm sure we'd all like to learn how to turn a draw into a win.Black CANNOT win because in order to queen the pawn, the king has to be able to take command of the g1 square. As long as white retains control over that square, it is a draw.

 I thought so too, but with correct play by white there is no way black can force a promotion.  It seems that white has to keep on g1, g2, and h1 until repitition draws or check is called and then move the king to g1.  At this point black will always have to protect at g3 or lose the pawn; unfortunately for black this means that the white king cannot move qed stalemate.

The only way black can "easily" win is if white makes the unfortunate mistake of moving to h2 or f2. Even then black has to be in the correct position to capitalize.

It should be mentioned that my analysis may not be perfect and anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Did all you people forget that what you are all commenting upon or giving hints are all illegal?

Have all of you forgotten that the game is still in progress and therefore everyone should stay away or keep your silence?
