The big question is for sure white can get a passed pawn but can white keep the black queen away from the king and a perpetual as the whole army slowly marches north?

I'll pick a draw.
HI Graham
what does your shiny new Palm Hiarcs think of the position?
Analytical Regards
Steve
Hi Steve,
I'm hoping to get the Palm set up this weekend, so not sure yet. I'm an amateur when it comes to setting up these things.
You're probably right Graham given that both computers will almost certainly not play the best chess in the endgame.....Given the 100elo disadvantage of the SD and that it's opening book ended earlier
I've thought that for some moves now, and so has BPL.
38.Kg3 Qc1
39.f4 g5
if 40. h4xg5 then h6xg5
regards
Larry
Well it seems like i am hearing the faint murmerings of a draw from both sides
i leave that up to both of you but i can say that ResII is liking the White position after the conditional 40th move a great deal
I look up this position with a palm hiarcs an it played 40.fxg5 it says white is up by 1.53. If black does not exchange the queen it can fight for a draw.
Sorry all, I put the white f pawn on f3 instead of f4 for
the analysis. Paul has not replied yet, but he can have the
choice of accepting my amended move or holding me to the
earlier f3 pawn position.
If he accepts, then BPL's next move is:
Don't worry Larry I accept the amended move Several times I've nearly posted the wrong position out of Arena myself so I know it's very easy to do!
The SD is just chewing on it's reply.........
As for a draw I think there's still life in the position yet for white so I won't be making or accepting any offers just yet I was just making the comment that given the rating/book disadvantage should we end up drawing later it would be no shame on the plucky SD.

For a while the SD wanted to play h5 here which Hiarcs X54 believes is a much weaker alternative, so I quite pleased when it switched to Qe3 after 28 mins.....score is still over one at +1.07
[fen]6k1/5p2/6pp/1p2P3/p1p2PPP/P1P1Q1K1/1P6/3q4 w - - 2 40 [/fen]
Well done Men!
i am glad to see you sorted things out in true sportsman like fashion
i was slightly concerned that when i came here this morning i would be witnessing fisticuffs
Qe3 seems to be a fine move and just might be deserving of the coveted..!
eliminates bothersome checks from the black Q and supports the pawn advance

Ok guys, we are back in business.
The slowness of some of my responses are to do with time zones. I get
a move in the dead of night when I'm about to retire.
39.f4 Qd1
40.Qe3 h5
score -0.33 for black depth 9/21
You can see BPL still does'nt see a problem. Time will tell.

Larry
No worries Larry, sometimes we hit a couple of moves with the timezones so it's swings and roundabouts at times......I think we've rattled through this game pretty quickly all things considered.
[fen]6k1/5p2/8/1p2P2p/p1p2P1P/P1P2QK1/1P6/3q4 w - - 1 42 [/fen]
Score on the SD is still just over one. It's completing 11ply in it's search but only getting through a few moves of the 12th ply. Just wish it would display it's selective depth
Just thought I'd switch engines in Arena and let Rybka have a chew on the position, after 21 ply it scores the game as a draw! I've let it run on and even at 24 ply it's keeping the dead draw score.....

Can the BLP find the moves.........
yup
ResII is scoring this as +.24 for white after 2 hours and 19 ply
Several times I've nearly posted the wrong position out of Arena myself so I know it's very easy to do!
