Position between Aristarch and Crafty SE 17.16.

[D] 2b5/8/2kP1K2/Pp5p/1B5P/8/8/8 b - - 0 64 ; am

This position has all the appearances of a dead drawn opposite color bishop
ending - and I think it is - but I'm not a master - so I can't say for sure.

I do know that 64....Kd7 that Aristarch played leads to an immediate loss.

Crafty 17.16 SE fails with Kd7 in two seconds and switches to Bd7 - which may
hold the draw - the win would be definately be harder for white after 64....
Bd7.
