Subject: GM Bareev resigns a drawn game against GM Kasparov ? (maybe)

Author: John Hatcher

Here is the final position of the just-completed game in the finals of the Rapid
Chess World Cup tournament between GM Bareev and GM Kasparov.  Bareev resigned
here.

Kasparov,G - Bareev,E

[D]8/8/8/pkp2p1p/5P1P/PP1K4/8/8 b - - 0 1

Granted, GM Bareev had very little time left, and the position LOOKS lost for
Black after 44. Kd3 Kc6  45. Kc4  Kd6  46. Kb5 (46. a4  Kc6 is a draw)...Kd5,
but Fritz thinks it's a draw, e.g. 47. Kxa5 Ke4 and the race is on.

Maybe somebody with a faster computer than mine can discover the truth about
this position.  Is it a draw?
