My endgame play is clearly not up to scratch as I don't understand why marching king back to b2 does not win for Alan. I need Fritz to help me with the McKay game.
Couldn't black just keep his Rook on the a-file if white tried that; and keep going back and forth Ra1->Ra6->Ra1?
Edit: having looked on a tablebase Alan's position is a draw. Even though Fritz gives white a +6
