Is this a draw?

Post by Mr. H. »

Hi there,

in one of my correspondence games I reached the follwing endgame.

r7/2k3pp/3P4/2P5/p2K4/3N4/4r1PP/R7 b - - 0 43

Will black be able to hold a draw? If so, what's the plan?

I'd welcome some very fast computer anaysis, or is here a GM who can help me out?

Thanx!

At a very first look,the draw could be reached,but it won't be easy in my opinion 8-)

This is the actual position on the board - no result yet... that's why I ask.

You're asking for public help on a game in progress? Is this some kind of freestyle correspondence game?

Greg, I play this game where external help (computer, human being) is not prohibited but quite usual.
