You do this by creating a new threat the support of the passed pawn on the e-file.If he goes directly after C-pawn he will loose the pawn race coz his king is blocking the path.<BR/><BR/>Can you show why Kf7 is wrong? According to my reasoning only Kf6 is crucial for Kf7 and Kg7. Ke7 is a draw coz you give black extra tempos.<BR/><BR/>And if Kf7 is bad then Fritz @###§!!Montsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776080368871190482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-1142647751104872032006-03-18T03:09:00.000+01:002006-03-18T03:09:00.000+01:00Montse, 1.Kf7 is not correct:1.Kf7 Kd5 and surpris...Montse, 1.Kf7 is not correct:<BR/>1.Kf7 Kd5 and surprisingly a reciprocal zugzwang arises.Temposchluckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977208394417444785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10713928.post-1142632298191944672006-03-17T22:51:00.000+01:002006-03-17T22:51:00.000+01:00a great book, difficult to find is Pawn endings by...a great book, difficult to find is <BR/>Pawn endings by Y.Averbakh and I maizelis.For the record I have it.<BR/><BR/>Tempo you took already a combined problem which is more difficult to understand.
