very interesting stuff walter - keeping me interested while I'm at work for sure! Anyone else posting games like this from scottish would be appreciated - nice to talk about chess on a chess forum for once! Could post one of my own games but I suspect the quality would be somewhat lacking unfortunately! Wasn't quite obvious to me that rook ending after Rb2 was drawn once the white rook got behind the a-pawn but I'm trying to compare it from memory with that alekhine-capablanca game with alekhine not having the mangled pawns and I think he needed to make progress on the kingside which I can't really see white doing...
