This is a very trivial draw, white has 11 drawing moves and only a few
silly losing moves like 1. Ba4??. The fortress seens easy to find, but
since today we know so many, it makes finding such things easier. Can
you give the year in which it was thought to be won and the year it
was declared drawn, since you state it has a 150 year lag until it was
found drawn (at least that is how I interpreted your "Philish"). I
can't locate my "Domination" book (the classic on all piece captures
in these endings leading to a win), are you saying that until the 5
man tablebases were developed, it was thought to be a win? I can't
believe that those Russian composers working in the dead of winter
didn't find it.....
