White to move and win
After some discussion concerning efforts that did not work, I found how Anton Korobov drew against Bogdan Deac.
Black to move
How would you play these two endings?

Two Endings from Informant
Yesterday, I put one of my stronger students through five endings from Chess Informant 163. They proved challenging. This morning, I had three candidate moves for number six. I rejected the move played in the game, but chose the wrong one of the other two.

Kc7 for first one. Rh1 on 2nd
ReplyDeleteKc7 was played in the game and led to a draw. Black has a lot of pawns--too many for the rook.
DeleteAfter Rh1, White takes the g-pawn.
