test position: Rookie-Arasan

Post by jdart »

from the blitz event today after CCT-16:

[D] 8/8/1p3kp1/p1pP1r1p/P1P5/1P2R1P1/4K3/8 b - -

bm Kf7. Re5 is wrong: many engines think it is a draw, at least at first, but it is not.

Stockfish 4 got the right idea here after about a minute on my quad.

This is the key position after Re5. Mutual zugzwang!

Yes it's probably a draw after Rf7. White can still force the rook exchange with Re6 Rf6 Rxf6 Kxf6 but now black can take the opposition in the pawn endgame.

[d]8/8/1p3kp1/p1pP3p/P1P5/1P4P1/4K3/8 w - - 0 4[/d]

If Kf2 then g5!

So white can no longer reach the key zugzwang position below necessary to win.

Nice winning sequence with white to play :-)
When black king go the the 4th lines, it gets out the square of the pawn but force the win.
