Can Black pull it back?

I played a friend OTB today (I was playing Black) and when this position came up I was pretty sure the game was lost for me (White did indeed win in the end.) Is there any way for Black to win in this situation, or is it in fact hopeless?

Sure looks hopeless to me.

That is completely and utterly lost. There is no hope for black whatsoever. In fact, I will put money on black being checkmated within, say, 16 moves. Want to take me up on it? Wink

Well b4 instantly loses to Na6+

Sorry, I meant to ask if black could find a draw or a win, but I guess the general consensus is bleak Smile
