You are explaning how Black won in the game... I see that. You miss my point however, i said: "With Best Play, Black c-a-n-n-o-t force a Win!" I stand by that; the Position is a Draw! The Doubled pawns on the c file can never queen. Black cannot make a passed pawn on the Kingside without intrusion by his King. White prevents that. Forget the Game! Analyze the Position; that's the point of the discussion. ok? CY
