Nothing else I can see worth mentioning. f6 saves the pawn also but is a much worse move.

Also, looks like no time limit has won, so the polls (when needed) will go back to being posted when I feel it is good.

Curtains, don't you think you are winning after Ke5 [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]?
We can't stop you from getting to f6 in the following line - right?

44. Ke5 Ke7
45. Bc5+ Ke8
and now either 46. Kf6 or Kd6 must be winning rIgHt?

If he plays Ke5 we could answer with Nf3+, which would prevent him from moving to Kf6, FWIW.

Seems like we'd have to push the b pawn if he tried to hit our f and g pawns, right?

The whole thing was a joke, if he plays Ke5 we fork, chop the bishop and we win the ending....

If he was forced to go follow the plan and went to Kf6, we'd go to Ne4 fork and win the bishop at c5.

Life is not going to be that easy but as you can see its not that easy for him either.....
