D. Blundell, 1995

White cannot make progress after 1.Ne1 Kg4. For example: 1.Ne1 Kg4 2.Kc2 f3, and now: (a)3.Kd2 f2, and (b)3.Nd3 f2 4.Nxf2 Kf3 5.Kd3 Kxf2 (6.Kc4 Kf3 7.Kd5 Kf4) are clear draws. White can also try 1.Ne1 Kg4 2.Ne3 Kf3 3.Nc5 Ke3, and again it's a draw. It's easy for white to draw the position. Winning is trickier :)
