I have come to the personal conclusion that while all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.

{ White's two extra connected passed pawns is enough to win usually. Stockfish
(a strong chess engine on a fast PC) could not find the draw in this
relatively simple position.|How does black force the draw? } 1... Ra1+ 2. Rf1 Rxf1+ 3. Kxf1 Bh3 { Computers stuggle to find a move like this. Either the
pawn will capture the bishop or the bishop will capture the pawn on the next
move leading to a draw. White's bishop is on the wrong colored square. All
black has to do is reach h8 with his king, and hover there until
stalemate.|White will not be able to force black's king from the promotion
square. White's bishop is simply the wrong color. } ( { Let's see how white will
win if we miss this only opportunity to force all of white's pawns to the h
file. } 3... Be6 4. g3 Ba2 5. Kf2 Be6 6. h4+ Kg6 7. Ke3 { White must avoid
offering the g-pawn to black, because white's lone h-pawn will lead to a
draw. So the immediate g4 here is a blunder. } 7... Kf5 8. g4+ Kf6 9. g5+ Kf5 10. Be2 Ke5 11. Bh5 Bd7 12. Bg6 Be6 13. h5 Ba2 14. h6 Bg8 15. h7 Bxh7 16. Bxh7 Ke6 17. Kf4 Kf7 18. Ke5 Kg7 19.
