Lets sum up Tony here please.
What happened to a lot of us is serious because we badly misjudged a so called"simple" endgame.
There were few general principles to be followed if ..
1.B had the better minor piece
2 BKing looked better placed than the WK
Although the BKn was better it could have become the worse piece to deal with a possible passed h pawn,also if we exchange the d4 pawn the WB becomes more active and no more the worse minor piece.
From the last 2 considerations.that came out to be right,we should not have
allowed the exchange of pawns because then the h pawn is to dangerous
and the WB becomes more active.
Instead the much less evident plan would have been finding a good square for the BKn,e4, and play some waiting moves taking advantage of the more freedom that B has in his position and the better minor pieces.
I meant you were very generous with the prize since your "class" did not do very well.
