Crazy pawn chain and botched endgame

Avatar of armiller

I've never seen a pawn chain like the one witnessed here. I think my knight was a definite advantage over his bishop, and I guess that's how I got the extra pawn. I offered a draw because I couldn't see how to remove the threat of his passed pawn without giving up my queen. After that, I'm sure I would have lost due to my opponent's superior queen position. I realize that there are endgame books I could look at, but advice from you means less work for me. Laughing

This was the first thought.  It may be flawed.

It almost looks like something I used to do in the fifth grade

I feel pretty stupid...but I guess this is how you learn. I totally misjudged how long it would take you to kill my pawn and get another queen...I'm glad you didn't resign, at least.

I normally post variations in my move lists, but was in a hurry earlier.  I came back to add it, but noticed that Mike already posted the main variation.
