It is probably not only about position, but how about playing for 7 hours, and you are positionally killing your opponent, and you slip up, throwing away all that work?
Here are a couple positions that still probably qualify:
[FEN "7k/7P/8/6K1/4B3/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
You would think that white should be able to win, but no.
Or black here.
[FEN "6K1/5P2/6q1/8/8/8/1k6/8 w - - 0 1"]
