Ke3= { Denham C: I think 23. ...Nh7 was incorrect and put me on the back foot until 37.Nf5+ which for some unknown reason allowed me to pull back level. Interesting game as on the face of it black would be lost nearly every time with white having 3 connected passed pawns, but once the bishop is exchanged for the h-pawn I don't think it is too difficult for me to force a draw. Many thanks for another interesting game. Colin } 1/2-1/2
