Anyone gone on this long and still won?
My longest won game is Game 2476497 at 77 moves.
04 Mar 07
This is 85 moves, Game 1435310, had my opponent carried on then I think it would have taken another 15 or so moves to get to checkmate, but I haven't had a game that's taken more than 90 moves yet.

If he cannot take the pawn I am not sure he can win. I think you have enough space to ensure you can always protect your h pawn and thereby secure the draw.
If he moves his K away from it to support his Bs in a mating attack you should be able to pick up his h pawn with a definate draw.

I ask because, during the game, i thought that becuase h1 was a white square, I need to trade the rook for the white-squred bishop for the draw, and trading for the black squared would lose.
if this is true, then my h-pawn is lost, because the black-squared B will take it, im not sure chasing the white B around the entire board would work ethier.
