This was one of the rare endgames in a teams game where material was perfectly even when the middlegame dust settled, down to the count of pawns and pieces symmetrically distributed to teammates, so I thought it might be interesting for others to check out as well:
Started out with NB vs NB then yellow decided to trade bishop for knight when opportunity arose. Maybe N is better in a pawn only situation because it can control squares of both colors, at least where there aren't runaway pawns too far across the board? Either way, the game was quite a struggle and lasted another 50 moves from the beginning of the endgame, post your own interesting balanced endgame situations here : ) I think what ended up winning the game was king activity \ centralization, and blue king being offside after trying to stop the red runaway pawn.
