Haven't yet checked Nimzo 99 doing that now.
But any human can see it is a draw, the bishop is the wrong color.
Also most other engines have access to tablebases which I am
certain will show it is a draw. I will check that too !!.
Still strange it would resign as I did set up the final
position after it's analysis prior to 62)LB4 as I didn't
understand this move and after two minutes of this it sees no
more than a draw.
Thanks.
