1st prize Podgaets-50 jubilee tourney

White: Kb6; pawns - a6, a7, c3
Black: Ke5, Bh1, Nb1
Draw

l.Kc7/i Na3/ii 2.Kb8 Kd6 3.c4/iii, with:
3...Nxc4 4.a8Q Bxa8 5.a7 (5.Kxa8? Kc7;) Nb6 stalemate, indeed,
ideal stalemate, or  3...Kd7 4.c5/iv Nb5 5.c6+ Bxc6 6.a8Q Bxa8
7.a7 Nc7 and, would you believe it, a second ideal stalemate.
i) 1.c4? Nc3 2.c5 Nd5+ 3.Kc6 Ke6 4.a8Q Ne7+ 5.Kc7 Bxa8 6.Kb8
Bd5 7.a7 Nc6+ 8.Kb7 Nb4+ 9.Kb8 Na6+ wins. l.a8Q? Bxa8 2.Ka7
B-any 3.Kb8 looks promising, but is refuted by 2...Kd6! 3.Kxa8
Kc7, with the well known 'sandbag' mate, while no better here is
the procrastinating: 3.c4 Kc7 4.c5 Nc3 5.c6 Nb5+ 6.Kxa8 Kc8 7.c7
Nxc7+ 8.Ka7 Nd5 9.Ka8 Kc7 10.Ka7 Ne7 1 l.Ka8 Nc8 12.a7 Nb6
mate. 
ii) The line: 1...Nxc3 2.Kb8 Kd6 3.a8Q Bxa8 4.Kxa8 Kc7 5.a7,
explains the main line self-denial. 
iii) Again we must look at alternatives, to see what difference, if
any, there is to what we have already seen. 3.a8Q? Bxa8 4.Kxa8
Kc7 - no change - and, in this, 4.c4 Kc6 5.a7, with an unexpected
reciprocal zugzwang: 5...Kd7 6.c5 Nb5 7.c6+ Kd8 8.c7+ Nxc7 and
the Black cannot improve on a stalemate outcome. However, Black
can improve, with 4...Kd7 5.a7 Kc6, and reciprocal zugzwang
operates for Black: 6.c5 Nb5 7.Kxa8 Kc7 8.c6 Kc8 9.c7 Nxc7
mate, thanks to non-capture of that c-pawn. 
iv) 4.a8Q? Bxa8 5.a7 Kc6 wins.

"A great miniature with such an un-chesslike theme. White with
dignity withstands the temptation to snap up the black bishop,
conducting the struggle down to a pair of ideal stalemates." One
could well add that both sides play at non-capture - a chess 'stand-
off".
