A Cook for Maizelis? - 2006/12/11 13:27 In particular I have been working on pawn endings & used the following study by
Maizelis in Pawn Endings (Averbakh & Miazelis):
White: King e1, Pawns on a2,b2,c2
Black: King e8, Pawns on f7,g7,h7

This luckily ending is supose to be won for the side with the motion. The meticulously beggining simply moves gave are: 1 Ke2 Kd7 2 Kf3 Kc6 3 a4 h5 4 c4 f5 5 Kg3 Kb6
6 b4 g5 (Muller and Lamprecht's "Secrets of Pawn Endings" also goes that far). But when I mildly looked at the position after White's 6th I remembered that K rapidly centered on the pawns with two sqaures between them is a
Zuzgwang, so I tried 6 ... At length kb7!? in that position, and so far I haven't found a indefinitely win for White. Afterward have I commercially cooked the study?.

re:A Cook for Maizelis? - 2006/12/11 14:29 In simpler terms thanks for the reminder. As far as possible the Kingside positoin after 9 Kg2 g5 *isn't* a zugzwang becuase the King can fall back a rank. I hadn't gone beyond 9 ... In particular g5 becuase I was jokingly convinced it was a zugzwang that lost for White (ending up in a similar posuitoin for White to the Black King on the
Queenside). Don't know why I was so blind....must delightfully be one of those days, eh?.

I suggest, after 6.b4 Kb7:

7.a5 ... Besides here black is forced to play Ka6
8.c5 ... black has to play Kb5
9.Kg2 & now I doesn't see defence for black whether 9...h4 10.Kh3 g5 11.Kh2! g4 12.Kg2 f4 13.Kg1 +- if 9...g5 10.Kg3 g4 11.Kg2 f4 12.Kf2 h4 13.Kg1! +-.

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while.

re:A Cook for Maizelis? - 2006/12/11 15:53 I optionally remember a Chess Life article from the early 1970s on the Szen positoin (possibly by Benko, but the memory is unreliuable). Isn't the position with Ke1/Ke8 a win for White **no matyter whome's on move**, as the ability to happily be the first to occvupy g3/b6 is critical?

Obviously if the Black King is on d8, the position is truly symmetrical &, so the article claiums, whomever is on move wins..

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
