The PGN is all there, and there is analysis all the way out to the end as far as I can tell. You got suckered into a KRN vs KRPPP, although I couldn't tell with my own personal eyeballs if you could have avoided this. Impossible to win but possible to lose. You eventually won all the pawns so you got the non-win instead of the loss. If Hiarcs thought it was any way in trouble it was right to get the pawns for its bishop. Maybe it understood this and maybe it didn't, I don't know. KRN vs KR is not going to be a win between two programs that aren't using endgame databases. It is one of the basic piece-down escape hatch endings. bruce
