Why should black even bother taking the pawn after all? Just remain patient and everything will be just fine. |

Again, no need to take on c4 right awayor else white might still be able to generate a counter attack by striking at the a or c pawn. |

Now that all possible attempts at a counter-attack by white have been quenched, it is time for black to convert the positional advantage into a material advantage. |

Even now we can see that whites bishop just doesn't have a good place to go. Blacks bishop is so much more active and white will soon have to give up the e-pawn as we'll. |

White can't allow the bishop on to g2, so this is necessary. Although it does give room for the black rook to get in from b2 to h2 and attack the h3 pawn. |

Now white does have an opportunity to snag the a5 pawn, but white won't have much of a problem from stopping the passed a4 pawn. |

Now it is clear that the room can just go to a2 and crush any idea white may have of getting the a-pawn promoted. |

Played with he idea of creating a passed f-pawn. |

It seems that maybe white might have a slight chance due to the fact that black has doubled pawns. But black will not have much of a problem as long as it is played correctly. |

This is about as much as white could hope for. But unfortunately for white there are not enough resources to defend. |

White must now just focus on keeping all of his pieces on the board. Any exchange (except for a rook exchange) will prove to be fetal for white. |

Black of course just want the bishops to be exchange which will make things much easier for black. After the bishops are exchanged all black has to do is get white in a position in which the white king is blocked off from stopping the passed f-pawn while also being in a situation where the white rook is restricted to prevent the black king from advancing any farther. |

So white must hold on to the bishop as long as possible to make things more complicated. |

But inevitably the bishops have come off, and black will execute the plan outlined earlier. |

All white can try to do now is prevent the king from becoming active. |

And with that this game is just about over since the king is now in a position where it can't touch the passed f-pawn. |

After good maneuvering by black, this endgame has been converted. The white king now has no shot at stopping the f pawn because of the rook on the e-file and the white rook can't move off the 5 column or the black king can advance and capture the g4 pawn. |

And after 100 moves white has finally resigned since the f pawn simply can't be stopped. Black took control over the board early - practically stopping white from coming up with any sufficient defense despite white's best efforts. |
