I don't disagree.  But it is just as important to not lose when you can win
or draw.  The not drawing when you can win is another level of tuning.  I need
to study the ending because a pawn on the a and c file becomes very hard for
a lone king to stop...  it might have simply made a mistake and drawn a won
position in this case..  I didn't look at it very carefully (yet).
