The question is if Fritz could win the game without going to the pawn endgame.
If it could not do it(and it seems to me to be the case) then it practically
changed nothing.

[D]3k4/2p1b3/1p2p1p1/p1p1P2p/P1P3P1/1P5P/5P2/2B3K1 w - - 0 25

25.h4 is forcing a draw because it is clear that after 25...hxg4 the move 26.Bg5
is forced in order not to lose material.

The problem is that I think that white has no way to win the game and never had
a way to win.
