Now White has also come to the conclusion that this game will be a draw and decides to give Black the cahnce to give perpetual check. There was no way to break through.

39... Qe1+
I decided to give perpetual check because if I would play 39...Qxc4 White could play 40.Qe7+ Kg8 41.d6 when his passed pawn is more advanced than mine so it's only White who can play for a win.

 
40. Kh3 Qe3+ 41. Kg2 Qe2+ 42. Kg3 Qe3+
And here we agreed to a draw. An interesting game. White seemed to get the better of it around the 20th move, but after a tactical melee in which both sides missed some chances a drawn ending ensued. Thank you for watching this game, see you again for the 6th game.
