Here's a game I am currently playing, but which I think will soon be a draw. I really didn't have a chance throughout the middlegame and endgame, but my opponent, a 2400+ rated player, managed to let the win slip away in a bare pawn endgame. With 49... g4! he could have still won, while now I can keep the opposition, and the g4-break doesn't work anymore. The endgame has quite some interesting endgame topics: zugzwang (for example 49. Ke5 g4 50. fxg4 fxg4 51. Kxf4 gxh3 52. Kf3 Ka7), opposition (as in the game: g2 vs. e2, g1 vs. e1), breakthrough (49... g4!), decoy (47. b6).

This certainly looks like an interesting position, but for the first 100 I am going to concentrate on the more basic positions.
