Subject: Interesting endgame

Author: David Dahlem

Date: 10:15:40 01/30/03

An interesting endgame developed in a recent game between TSCP 1.8 and Pooky
1.4. TSCP eventually won, but i'm wondering if Black can draw with best play by
both sides from this position?

[D]q6k/p4Pb1/6K1/1Q4P1/7P/8/P7/8 b - - 0 55

Here is the complete game.

[White "TSCP 1.8"]
[Black "Pooky 1.4"]
