Other techniques may give white too much counterplay. Although they too might lead to a win for black, your method seems more solid. However, there may be a way out of it as well: 1...Kf5 2.Ba1 Bf1 3.Bb2 Be2 4.Ba1 h2 5.Kxh2 Bxf3 6. Kg3 Ke4 7. c4 dxc4 8. d5 Bh5 9. d6 Be8 10. Kf2 Kd3 11. Ke1 ... c3 12. Kd1 c2+ 13. Kc1 Bd7 (?) ... Kc2 12. Ke2 Kb1 13. Bc3 Kc2 14. Ba1 Kb1 15. Bc3 Bd7 16. Kd2 Maybe your method has flaws as well. Who knows? I am doing this off my head, so I could have a bunch of mistakes here. Are we still convinced that this is a definite win for black? Hasn't yet been proven to my satisfaction (but then again, I am a putzer). KarinsDad :)
