Hello- I've just been at a tournament, played 3 games won 2 and lost 1. 3 more games tomorrow. I was going to post my full game here but my notation got screwed up as always and I find entering games here can be a bit buggy So I decided to just post this position, reached in one of my games. I am black, but it is white to move. My opponent ended up blundering and I got away with an easy win luckily. Oops- My question is can black win?
Ricardo's explanation is spot on, this is a simple win. Another piece of advice: study K+P vs K. It's a relatively simple ending but if you don't know it you may goof your won position! On the queenside, ending up with only a rook pawn would be a disaster, and promoting a knight pawn can be tricky if you've never studied it before. :)
