nah, not with that King on e7 and the target on d6. Nxf2 gives him SOME measure of counterplay and the positions after Rxh2+ are pretty rough for me
Agh, I hate how F9 makes me look at the board from the black POV when I open it, it makes it hard to calculate if I haven't been playing from that view from move one.

Erm, not even close to the line I had - black didn't play Rxb2?
Anyhow, Kf1.

and then a few moves later
[fen]8/1p2k1p1/1ppp1p1q/8/1P2PQ2/2P3Pr/P4KR1/3R4 b - - 0 34[/fen]
and here he played Qh5? (though he was already lost, my king can't be reached by his pieces) and found himself on the defensive!
35. Qxd6+ Kf7
36. Qd7+ Kg6
37. Qe8+ Kh7
38. Qxh5+ 1-0

Wait...I fail to see how b4 ruined the game for you. Or was that FEN not immediately after b4?

Originally posted by cmsMasterthe other variation i considered (which was looked at before the position i posted) involved black pushing the c pawns, when I would take the lead one with my king and sac my bish for the real one. he would take my g pawn, but I would still have enough time to run my king to a1 and draw
Wow, awesome, I really need endgame work. 😕
kinda like:
not exact, but the same scenario with white to move
