How to push in this closed position? • page 1/1 • Game analysis • lichess.org

I just played a game that ended in a draw. For the end I felt I might be slightly better and the computer agrees with me (+1.4) but even if I play simple moves with black the computer doesn't force anything.

Hence my question: what ways are there to play for a win after 27. NH4

there is no way through without a sacrifice and if you had done that your position would have been losing.

The computer's plus is another one of those meaningless computer pluses, since the position is deadlocked.

Yes, I agree, too may pieces for a sacrifice to work, a possible theoretical win is if black puts all of their pieces on h8/h7/g7/g8 and then by sacrificing lsb on b5 you are hoping to promote the c-pawn with the help from a knight on c5. But obviously not even a 600 player would allow that to happen.
