Yes, I reach the following position; White: Kg6 Qh8 Pg5 Black: Kb2 Qd1 Pb7,d6 with black to move Fine states that Q+pawn vs Q is a draw unless white has a BP or center P on the seventh suppported by the king. In this case the two extra pawns for black on b7 and d6 might just create extra trouble for him. Makes it harder to reach perpetuals. Clear though that white has winning chances. Sune
