"2 weeks in Moscow" [in Portuguese] Kg8 might be the best move, but it appears that 56...Kf5 blew a won position. Before that move, Chessmaster 9000 shows a score of about -2.2 for Black. After 56...Kf5 the score is immediately 0.0.... In this position: [D]4Q3/8/2p3kp/3p2p1/3q4/7P/5PK1/8 b - - 0 56 Chessmaster 9000, on a P3-733, prefers Kh7. Anybody who has faster hardware might be able to show that this position is a draw: Time Depth Score Positions Moves 0:00 1/3 -3.10 1100 8...Kh7 9.Qxc6 Qe4+ 10.Kg1 0:00 1/4 -2.97 3655 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 d4 11.Qe4+ Kh8 0:00 1/5 -2.52 11562 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 d4 11.Qe4+ Kg8 12.Qd3 0:00 1/6 -2.60 20791 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 d4 11.Qe4+ Kg8 12.Qe8+ Qf8 13.Qxf8+ Kxf8 0:00 1/7 -2.40 41017 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 d4 11.Qe4+ Kg8 12.Qe8+ Qf8 13.Qxf8+ Kxf8 14.Kf3 0:01 2/8 -2.41 82665 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 Qe5 11.Qb7+ Kh8 12.Qc8+ Kg7 13.Qb7+ Kg8 14.Qc8+ Kf7 15.Qd7+ Kf6 0:02 3/9 -2.29 209624 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 Qe5 11.Qb7+ Kh8 12.Qa8+ Kg7 13.Qa7+ Kg6 14.Qe3 Qxe3 15.fxe3 0:08 4/10 -2.29 671211 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 Qe5 11.Qb7+ Kg6 12.Qb1+ Qe4+ 13.Qxe4+ dxe4 14.Kf1 Kf5 15.Ke2 Kf4 16.Kd2 h5 17.Kc3 0:17 5/11 -2.27 1510641 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 Qe5 11.Qb7+ Kg6 12.Qb1+ Qe4+ 13.Qxe4+ dxe4 14.Kg3 Kf5 15.h4 gxh4+ 16.Kxh4 Kf4 17.Kh5 Kf3 1:03 6/12 -2.38 5736055 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 Qe5 11.Qb7+ Kg6 12.Qb1+ Qe4+ 13.Qxe4+ dxe4 14.Kf1 Kf5 15.Ke1 Ke5 16.Kd2 Kd4 17.Ke2 h5 2:29 7/13 -2.31 13712201 8...Kh7 9.Qd7+ Qg7 10.Qxc6 Qe5 11.Qb7+ Kg6 12.Qc6+ Kh5 13.Qd7 Qe4+ 14.Kg3 Kg6 15.Qd6+ Kg7 16.Qd7+ Kg8 17.Qd8+ Kh7 18.Qf6 Qh4+ 19.Kg2 jm
