pawn down ending.. ? for your information, the marshall attack is an opening wherein black gives up a pawn in exchange for a strong attack. If white knows how to prevent the attack, then it almost always leads to a draw.
This is not the case of a normal game wherein one player has a pawn less and has to struggle to get a draw.

Looks like your a pretty knowledgeable guy. Your rating 2239 says it all. Btw, i was following all the games on playchess.com and there noone was expecting anything more than a draw.
