    Fantastic Purdy Endgame

    The following position is taken from the game Purdy vs. Hamilton  played in the 1967 Australian Championship.  It's Black's move and it appears that he should win but Purdy had analyzed the position and come to the conclusion that it was a draw

    Ten moves later the game had reached the following position and astonishingly it is a draw!
