    Interesting R and P Ending


    I recently won a lost game when my opponent exceeded the time limit in a won position.  Despite the fact that I had blundered a P earlier apparently I still had drawing chances in the position below.  Houdini rates the position as only slightly in White’s favor, but on my 29th move I made an elementary mistake in allowing my opponent to get a passed P supported by his R behind it.
