This is the reached position in my recent game vs. development, players agreed to a draw. How do you finish for black (two pawns ahead) with a win?

What I was worried about is Nc5 then Nxa6 giving them a dangerous passed pawn.

We are looking at it from black's perspective, the side I played in the game. I wasn't sure how to properly defend my a-pawn.

White can't go hunting after the a-pawn with his N, but 1.Rg5 Re4 2.Nc5 Rb4 3.Rg6! may be enough to draw for White. It's actually a very complicated position.


That's what I think too. I didn't think I had the ability (without his blundering) to win this game so I offered the draw. It seems like a very difficult position.

Was it actually white to move?

It looked to me like a pretty solid black advantage, but I tried plugging it into my chess engine and it crashed, so...perhaps there are levels of complexity to this position that I'm not seeing.

White to move, yes.
