Here's turn 36. After this it gets really slow checking the pawns and counting the speed of each king's sprints between them.. I get this mental image of really large guys carrying thrones stuck to their backsides

I offer the draw because it's been really close, is still close, and I was lucky the knight happened to have the right squares covered to pin the Bishop in. It would still be difficult to catch pawns with a knight

I've decided to accept, though I still think I have a shot winning with two potential passed pawns.
