Subject: Is this really a dead draw?

Author: Eric Tom

Hi!

In the following position, NCO proclaims that this is a draw.  Can any chess
engines prove otherwise?  I'm just curious if there's anyway at all Black can
win.  NCO's continuation is as follows 20 Ng4 bxc3 21 Rh3 f5 22 Nf6 h6 23 Qxh6+
Bxh6 24 Rxh6+ Kg7 25 Rh7+ Kf8 followed by perpetual checking.  Sorry, I do not
know how to post the board in this message.

Thank you,
Eric
