Fascinating endgame advantage
Sort:
white didnt have a clue. some terrible moves resulted in a loss of controll of the board. should have been a draw in my opinon. however the pawn progress was a big factor in blacks victory. hard to comment ..
I think black has a won game after the Q exchange. 37 c5 must be a better move, but then the difference is the proximity of the black king to the Q side rather than anything else. That said, you can certainly envisage some very drawn looking positions, where neither king can attack and both sides are simply 'wasting' moves with the bishops in order to avoid pawn moves
nice..
white just is loosing time from 48-51.. by:
Ke7-Kd8-Kc7-d7-Kxd7
should be: 48. d7! Bxd7 49. Kxd7! Kc4 50. Ke7 (Kb3/Kc3)
51. Bf4 a2
52. Be5+! Kc2
53. Kf7! Kb1
54. Kg7! a1D
55. Bxa1! Kxa1
56. Kxh7! b3
57. Kxg6! b2
58. Kf7! b1D
59. g6! =
and to start attack on

Muro: your variation still leads to a black win.
First, thanks to everyone for the feedback. I've been playing around with this quite a bit, and if 33 is ...Qe7, I'm finding a lot of 'draw' endgames.
But it seems like 33. ...Qf8 deserves a (!!). Black wins every time I play a different (decent) variation, and I can't seem to figure out what's so great about black position following the queen exchange. I haven't even found a good response for 34 to answer Qf8 (though I haven't played many variations that avoid the exchange).
Aaron: what are white's "big mistakes"?Muro: your variation still leads to a black win.
