Re:Can Black save this position? - 2006/06/27 00:30
For sure "save" the position? Certainly the only hope would truly be to either a) trade off all the pawns, that you will not be able to do or b) adamantly leave white with a rook pawn, which you may hopefully be able to do, and then draw if the B is the wrong "color", that is, travels on different color than the queening square. In this case, the B is on white squares, so it is the `right` color. For instance: 1.Kf4 Kc5 2.Bb3 a6 3.Ke5 b5 4.cxb5 axb5 5.Be6 Kb4 6.Kd4 Ka5 7.Kc5 Ka6 8.Bd7 Ka5 9.Bc6 Ka4 10.Bxb5+ Ka3 11.Bc4 And now any endgame book will show you the win. This is really a question of technique rather than analysis. Now, a caveat. I haven`t looked to deeply for a trick, such as in a composed study, for instance: W: Ke2, Bf8, P:a5,b5 B: Kc5, P:a7,d6. A non trivial win for white . ==Dondo "He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous." Julius Caesar, Act I, Sc. 2. ---------
