Comments.Text: That's sort of what I thought (and why I set up the position to allow me to exchange the knight for the pawn - figured that was his only real chance to win was promoting that pawn).  Fortunately for me this is a play-by-phone-app game where *Sitzfleisch* isn't a real problem, just forgetting what I was doing is...

  It is a draw. The only way to avoid perpetual check is to place the rook on f7/g7 and the king on h7. When Black does this, White will put his queen on f6, preventing the pawns from advancing and this is a draw, because Black can only sit in his fortress and repeat moves.
  
  Note that even if Black succeeded in advancing his pawns further it would still be a draw, because that would only make it easier for White to check Black using the squares g8 and h8.
