Let's practice and have some fun, guys. This is a great exercise for those who want to improve their endgame technique. We know that winning in a won position is not always easy. There's time and psychological pressure involved. But things are easier when we are used to them. So why don't we practice a bit?
For a start, try to win this one as white in a 5 mins + 10 secs game against Stockfish level 8:
r4k2/5p2/p7/1p6/8/4BP2/5P1P/3R1K2 w - -
And please, paste your own won position here so that we can practice more.
I didn't exactly cover myself with glory; the first 2 tries led to drawn positions, the 3rd was won but I produced an idiotic stalemate; the 4th I actually managed to lose, and the 5th attempt worked. Thanks for the great idea and the position!
My won attempt:

LOL, I thought you had pasted a new position. It's your game.
Remember to paste a new won position here.
http://es.lichess.org/7ro63LB1After drawing the first game I won the second time. Surely not the best endgame technique as I gave up the bishop in order to transpose into a winning king and pawn endgame
The first two I drew and actually got very lucky not to lose in the first one. the third one I managed to win though
1st attempt (lucky escape)

http://en.lichess.org/5gjRYuBw/whiteGuys, remember to compose new won positions so we can practice more. Come on! Someone give me a new position!
I'll think of a new position. I enjoyed that one a lot ! Here's my win: 8/8/8/8/8/8/kQK5/8 b - - 18 38
Interesting that in all our won games Stockfish blundered decisively at least once; can someone let a really strong computer play it out against itself?
