Not only has no progress been made, the final position occured six times (moves 82, 88, 91, 93, 96, and 99), and as long as Black stays in the corner, the best that White can hope for is a stalemate. The fact that Black didn't seem to know about the stalemate doesn't change the fact that Black will not lose, as he's proven he's not going to be tricked out of the corner.--Jeffrey Roland.} {#d} 1/2-1/2
