Junior7 believes that this position is a draw also with f5 because white has the wrong bishop. I did not analyze it but I guess that white can force a zunzwang and force black to play g5 at some point in order to win by hxg5. The problem is not that Junior cannot see the 3 ways to draw but that it believes that there is also a 4th way to draw. >By the way, what's up with Chessbase? If you ask Junior 7 to copy the position, >this is what you get: "wKe2,Ba8,Ph4/bKg7,Pf7,g6,h5" Have they never heard of >FEN over there? Who in the hell uses this kind of nonsense to describe a >position??????? They heard about FEN You can use File->new->position setup->copy FEN edit->copy position does not work. Maybe chessbase asssume that most customers never heard about FEN and this is the reason that they do the option of edit->copy position in the way that you describe. Every chess player who know the english words bishop,pawn king can understand wKe2,Ba8,Ph4/bKg7,Pf7,g6,h5 Not every chess player understand FEN and I guess that most of the chess players do not understand the meaning of FEN.
