This morning I glanced through an excellent instructive article on pawn endings in Informant 120, "Precision" by Eduardas Rozentalis. Then I started working through the French Defense games. Naturally, the tactics in these games are instructive.
The position below appears in the notes to CI 120/100 Solak -- Bartel, Yerevan 2014.
White to move
The correct move in this position is the final one in Solak's annotations. He leaves the reader to work out why it is a winning move.
I may use this position with some of my students next week. After White's move and an obvious looking subpar response by Black, a position is reached that may be useful with some of my beginning students.
