Yes, you got a draw position. However you last sentence may also be misleading,
and in your words (your answer to Peter): "About this game this is a superficial
analysis." if considered in context with the following. First, it may imply,
that Shredder used some big contempt factor (which from my observation of
Shredder's scores during the game was not the case).


>We did not loose because Yace played the endgame better.

When Yace tried the pawn break (with positive score for black, even pos. score
one move earlier), Shredder showed positive score for white, I think for at
least 2 more moves. Yace found a nice move in that endgame, which Shredder
probably would not have found, even with very much time. Don't take my fun :-)

With my means, I analyzed that game. Perhaps, there was one slight drawing
chance left after the pawn break.

Here is the game, with scores, thinking times and expected moves of Yace. The
thinking times of the first moves of white are just the times used by the
operator (the chess clock was not running yet, so no need to hurry).
