(The alternate position you also posted is something entirely different and not related to the web site I referenced, so I have clipped it from this response.) I still contend that the web site is wrong, and that White can draw. Can anybody analyze this with their computer and confirm or refute that conclusion? >>4...h3 5.Nh4 h2 6.Nf5+ Ke5 7.Ng3 Kf4 8.Nh1 Kxe4 9.Kd2 Kf3 >>10.Ke1 Kg2 11.Ke2 >> [11.Nf2 Kg1 12.Ke2 Kg2=] >> >>11...Kxh1 12.Kf2 b4 13.axb4 a3 14.bxa3 ½-½
