From this weeks endgame group:
All the positions I post are against Fritz 11 by the way. I seem to have no trouble drawing the game, but winning as white is a different story :\ |

I saw this game during the cup weekender. One of the Box Hill juniors was playing the black side of this game. I included just before everything gets swapped off and a few lines I added in that might be better for either side. Needless to say white missed several chances of winning and black missed the final surge.
The second and third pgn's include my various winning/drawing lines.

A Draw? Why?

It's only winning after 28. Rd5 as I pointed out.

Went on to win this ending. Was pretty sure I could convert since I had the two passed pawns he had to deal with. Opinions? Do you think I swapped into a drawn ending?
