Played this at my club last monday and ended up with this position at 10:30 pm. My opponent declared that this would surely be a draw. He knew that I had to go up for work at 4 o´clock next morning (he´s retired himself) and probably hoped I would prefer to get home for sleep. He didn´t get the draw and was rather mated 45 minutes later at move 95. But he simply insisted, that -played correctly- this had been a draw! What do you think about this?

Played correctly is a win... 6 th rank pawns are trutsy back rank tie downers :)

Yes, it takes a lot of moves, but there´s now doubt, that white should win.

As Karsten Mueller says on his endgame dvd's. "Theoretically its a draw but over the board its much more difficult."
