Is there any hope for this one. 2...b5 seems to salvage the draw for black. Blathy's original idea was to use the king to go around the "stalemated" queen in the middle of the board.

Interesting "exchange for bishop pair" position
14. Rxe6 interesting but dubious per engines. Latest stockfish dev is capable of holding this as white against Ceres and Dragon.

Re: Drawkiller practically lost for black
Yes pohl. My intent was to highlight that the example position has the drawback of the c7 pawn.

What about this modification. Now the weak pawn is defended.

Drawkiller practically lost for black
The standard drawkiller opening setup is virtually lost for black. I have tested this position many times and in almost every game black is losing. The problem lies in the weak pawn on c7.
