So we're finally down to endgame in our first online match at 44 moves in on this slugfest.  Each of us have made at least one really bad mistake (both involving knights incidentally) along the way but things look pretty even going into the last death throes of the match.

His king, two rooks, and two pawns challenge my king and queen with three pawns.  The suspense about each move is palpable. Who will win?  Is a draw in our future?
