As I am new to starting forums and my PGN efforts seem to disappear, I will put them on separate posts below. The position below is from Jeremy Silman's Complete Endgame Course, and was originally from a game Akiko Uto-Tran, Paris 2005. White resigned, failing to find a solution. The first PGN diagram shows Silman's drawing solution. At first, I thought that black had other tries, an early push of his "a" pawn forcing white's knight to capture and thus preventing the knight from policing the g pawn, and even walking his king to f2 and thus preventing white's crucial Ne2. I have found no winning line for black, but I find the position worthy of study and understanding.
White resigned
I felt 6...Ke1 would lead to a perpetual 7. Nf3+ Kf1 etc. But 7. Kd1 may be worth a peek.
