I see that black's pawn on d4 is doing something, but I don't see that it is winning the game, it seems to be trying to draw the game. If you play c4+, you end up losing the h4 pawn, so there is one on each side. I would rather have the bishop in this case. Perhaps I am wrong, maybe white can advance the pawn and mask it from capture, so that it can queen, but it seems like a more equal race. I'd rather be up a pawn and not be able to think of a way to make progress than have the material reduced and even. Did I miss something? bruce
