R. Fischer and L. Barden vs. GM J. Penrose and P Clarke
London, 1961


[D]v8/p1rbk1p1/5p1p/R1PBp2P/2K1P1P1/5P2/8/8 w - - 0 47


After 47...Ke7

The above noted position occured on British radio on the BBCs Third Network and
appeared in print in 'Chess Treasury of the Air', pages 124-132, edited by
Terence Tiller.  This was a game with two players on each side of the board.

Black's opinion was the game is a draw and would no longer move, Fischer flatly
rejected the draw.  Fischer stated:

"What's the matter with you guys - are you dreaming or something?"

Adjudication for the game was sought.

MY QUESTION:

Play the role of adjudicator and tell me what you think!

Is it a draw?

What is the best line?

Warning:  This is extremely challenging!!
