Draw 

l.b8Q Rh8+ 2.Kxh8 Rh6+/i 3.Kg8 Rh8+ 4.Kf7 Rxb8 5.Rxb8 h2
6.Bd3+ Kf2 7.Rb3 Bd2/ii 8.Be4/iii h1Q 9.Rf3+ Kg1 (9...Kel
10.Bd3) 10.Rh3 Qxg2 11.Rh1+ draws. 
i) 2...Rf8+ 3.Kh7 Rxb8 4.Rxb8 h2 5.Bd3+ Kf2 6.Rf8+ and 7.Rf1,
level pegging. 
ii) 7...h1Q 8.Rxc3 Qxh4 9.Rc2+ Kg3 10.Bg6 draw. "White must
change plans after 7...Bel, for 8.Be4? h1Q 9.Rf3+ Ke2 wins, but
8.Bf1 h1Q 9.Rf3+ (also 9.Rh3) 9...Kg1 10.Rh3 ends the black
Queen's life." 
iii) 8.Rb2? h1Q 9.Rxd2+ Ke3 with White to lose a piece. "A hair-
splitting solver might ask about 8.Bf1 as a good alternative, as
8...h1Q 9.Rf3+ follows, but Black has 8...Be3, and the h1
promotion will follow willy-nilly."

"No bad! White's lively play neutralises the future black Queen.
The final moment, one has to say, is hardly a climax."
