DarkThought understands that everything except Na5 *looses* and it also understands that the resulting position is a draw as soon as the white king gets into the corner. *But* Black need not let him get there -- by aimlessly moving around with his king, bishop, and eventually his pawns. Consequently, the position will be drawn *very far* in the future due to the 50-moves rule. >Draw evals with a long and valid main line mean they really understand. Well, this main line should be well over 100 plies because Black still has some pawn moves ... Ah yes, I totally agree with you that it looks very complicated and maybe even foolish to try to assess the resulting position as drawn "at a glance". =Ernst=
