I love the computer's suggestion of 131...Rg2+! Felix can write that on his scoresheet and claim a draw by the fifty move rule. :D

Richard Rapport is not the only player to make their opponent play in on an obviously drawn position. Those who post on this forum have been known to do so and they haven't reached the heights of GM

No, the position at before black's 131st move.
