A fascinating and instructive endgame. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have, and that it teaches you something. Feel free to ask if you have any questions! Smile

Definitely very cool. I smiled every time I saw a good move and then a note explaining why it's good, because it's so complicated I didn't get it at first.

Thanks for another great article!

Thanks! Very nice. I love endgames. It's where the real action is. Anybody can memorize some opening traps, but to play well in the endgame, you have to use principles and correct calculation.

Simba writes, Thanks for posting [Karpov-Hort, Budapest 1973] and your commentary which is very informative. Got one question: What does 'spare tempi in zugzwang situations' mean when white moved g5 in move 35? so I wrote a small blog entry explaining these concepts in case anyone is interested.  :)

 This is what I like so much on this website.  I have yet to come across a chess website where so many players submit such excellent instructional games.  This one is a good example of how to play an endgame by making use of some fundamental rules.  Thank you very much for this one.
