Re: Draw
1.Qxf3+, Qxf3+ 2.Nxf3 and it is a draw as King can not move outside the corner.
I saw the final position in the book "How to use computers to improve your chess". In that book there are other interesting example positions like this which probe why computers can not solve some kind of positions.
