Endgame evaluation, please This weekend I played at yahoo and my game came into following position.
My internal voice says White is winning but I managed it to draw only as had only seconds for it.
My head doesn't work properly {or to say better - at all} last days :-) so could somebody go with analysis of that position:
----------------
White: Kh1, Rf3, Bd7, pawns: d6, e6, g2, h3
Black: Kg6, Ra7, Bd8, pawns: a3, h7
-----------------
Tnx in advance...

loreta It is late here but it looks to me like (assuming it is White to move):
1. e7 wins easily 1. ... a2 2. e8/Q+ either mates or wins the rook, probably mates in all lines with a little thought. so 1. ... Be7: 2. de: Ra8 3. e8/Q+ Re8: 4. Be8:+ Kany 5. Ra3:
Hopefully I didn't miss something embarassing with my glazed eyes.

Black to move draws with 1...a2 (forced); after either 2.e7 Bxe7 3.dxe7 a1=Q+ 4.Kh2 Ra8 5.e8=Q+ Rxe8 6.Bxe8+ a draw can be safely agreed; or 2.Rf1 a1=Q+ 3.Rxa1 Rxa1+ 4.Kh2 Kf6 White can't make any progress.

Tnx, Alex So it seems a draw (as it was) was a logical issue of that game?

Yes but it could be interesting to see the rest of the actual game.

Alex: my bad habit I've a bad habit - to print games and save them in hard (not electronical) format. Unfortunately, I haven't full text of that game during last days
On other hand, I don't like to share games when they are done in blitz style {why to show your blunders}.
So as far as I remember {numaration could differ in one position, I'm not sure}, this game's continuation was:
44. ... a2 45. Rf1 a1=Q+ 46. Rxa1 Rxa1+ 47. Kh2 Re1 48. e7 Bxe7 49. dxe7 Rxe7 and White kept a defense with bishop + 2 pawns vs Rook + a pawn
