Actually, I believe the question for the longest line, to see the draw is practically not answerable (is the an English word?) in a position like this. There are many different lines, that have equal or close to equal material balance. one could cut a line with an argument like "Now black has easy play for draw", or many similar arguments. How to define "easy", is not so clear, however. In parts of the lines, white will have a clear advantage (in material) and everybody would agree, that the only chance for black will be perpetual check. In those lines, we can find the longest line to draw. Again, we would probably find lines, where "clear advantage" [for white] is not that clear anymore, and could discuss for a long time about this ... Regards, Dieter
