8/3b2k1/1p3pp1/3p1p2/3P1P2/P3P3/5KP1/5B2 b - - At depth 100/187 SF dev finally shows +2.96 with analysis contempt on (c=24 so real eval is probably around +3.2 is my guess). So this might just be mate in N from this position. Can you post the analysis? If somebody can win it is only white but we sa...

There were positions wher...

I can see that the difference is in the following position



Here g4 is not good and without the pawns g5 e3 the move g4 is winning.

(Between moves 50 and 60) Judging by the 0.95 scores here, at move 53 Kaissa thinks Stockfish blundered away the half point (quickly sees that 53..gxf4 is wrong) and this still draw: 8/K1k5/1p3p2/3p1pp1/3P1P2/PB1bP1P1/8/8 b - - Engine: Kaissa IV NoContempt (512 MB) by T.
