 Mutually Supporting Pawnsgameknot.com I thought it was really cool to actually apply the mutually supporting pawns idea. It's always a good feeling to use some endgame technique from the books; you get direct proof that your study was worth it. |

Good game... w Paradoxically, White's 2 split pawns defeat Black's 3 conjoined trio. White to play: 1.Kd1! e2 2.Ke2 c3 (say) 3.Kd3 ... Now Black's pawns advance to their doom, whereat the lone Blck K finds itself in "Zugzwang". 3...e2 4.Kxe2 c2 5.Kd2 d3 6.Kc1 d2+ 7.Kxd2 c1=Q+ 8.Kxc1 ... And now we see why the BK dared not move previously: 8...Kf2 9.h7 wins. |
