Hi all,
Can White win in this position or it will be a draw?
/4qbk1/7p/4Ppp1/5P2/4Q3/4BKPP//
- Black's turn to play.
Please do not give any move or line of analysis as the game is still on-going.
Thank you,

With a correct defense Black draws, but White has nothing to lose playing on.Kohflote wrote:Please do not give any move or line of analysis as the game is still on-going.

I really wonder if this 0 1 in the FEN is correct.zullil wrote:[d] 8/4qbk1/7p/4Ppp1/5P2/4Q3/4BKPP/8 b - - 0 1Kohflote wrote:Hi all,

OK the 1 is obviously not correct, but what is the value of 0 really?
Since if it is 99 and black plays a non Pawn or capture move then it will be an instant draw.
I wonder why FEN strings are not treated with the way they should be treated by the GUIs, regarding halfmove clock.
But regardless of that this game should be a draw i guess, but white can continue and perhaps it can create something if black does not play flawlessly.

The fen is incorrect because I simply modified what was given in the original post in order to provide readers with a diagram.George Tsavdaris wrote: I really wonder if this 0 1 in the FEN is correct.
