White Queens the h-pawn while black can only move Be8-d7-e8-d7 etc... Look at this variation.. 1. Kg3 Bd7 2. h4 Be8 3. h5 Bd7 4. h6 Be8 5. h7 Bd7 6. h8=Q Be8.. White has to try to Queen the pawns without taking the bishop..IMO It´s impossible.. Continuation of my variation... ..7. Qg7 Bd7 8. Qxf7 Be8 9. Qe7 Bg6 10. Qxe6 Bh5 11. Qd7 Bf7 etc.... My conclusion is that it is a draw.. I might have missed something, but I don´t think so :-) Regards, Alvaro
