found this interesting endgame concept in a game I was expectating, the players agreed to a draw but there was a direct way to convert, which was interesting to see
The winning idea is really easy to spot. I don’t know why White agreed to a draw.
White kept playing Ra8 and repeated moves, he wasn't aware of the concept of a lucena bridge but did notice the stalemate trap, thought he couldn't move the king and thus couldn't win. It was between 2 <1,000 elo players. It was interesting to see a theoretical endgame position on a live board though, so thought about posting it
ah <1000 elo, makes sense. Was it OTB ?
