MattF, a strong player out of the United Kingdom, blundered with the natural and apparently winning Queen promoting move b2 in the chess position you see below.
Can you see how why White has a forced draw with the Black b pawn one move away from Queening his pawn with check?!?!?! The draw is based on the mating pattern on the square h7 where the White Knight both protects the White Rook on h7 and the g8 escape square simultaneously!!!
Also the White Knight at f6 guards the e8 and Rook occupied d7 square to SEAL THE DEAL. AINT IT JUST BEAUTIFUL AND HARMONIZING!!!!!!! Emanuel Lasker is rolling in his grave about this gorgeously cute drawing mechanism!!!!!
