Stephen, Just state that independant analysis with Junior 6a carried out by an independant observer reveals that this devolves to a KRkb endgame and according to five man tablebases is a draw. If they don't accept that--too bad. No apologies needed. In any case I assume that the 50 move rule would be in effect and this is a draw if neither side simplifies because neither side can force a win. Tim Frohlick PS What is your ELO rating... ?
