Diamond Shield Formation

Here's an endgame that was won long before I delivered checkmate. I created something I spontaneously named the diamond shield formation, which is actually just a couple of concepts working hand in hand. I'll let the game speak for itself:

There were probably better ways I could've handled this situation and ended the game sooner, but I've grown a little rusty, hence my rating. Still, it looks nifty enough to share.

you could have had save the outside pass pawn and force the white rook to its duty of guarding the promotion square and advance your kingside majority with the king. 

Just my opinion

Very good love the "D" shield 

That is indeed a good option, a traditional approach. At the time, I saw a sure fire way and I took it. It was a 15|10 game and I didn't feel like dealing with any mistakes.

😬 why does that sound familiar...

...

A formation that often comes up is similar. Since it's common it's useful to know

i can win this position with no consciousness. 

I can consciousness this win with no position.

In this position you just need to run your asset to promotion. Simply intuitive.

because the pawn are connected. 

The position isn't important. The rook and pawn formation is.

This time i check the annotation and that's what it meant "run  away with your connected pass pawn" 

Just goes to show that two connected passed pawns are very dangerous, especially in the end game. Learning to spot these type of things ahead of your opponents usually leads to a win.

Look, I posted something useful and on topic, either learn it or ignore it, either way I don't really care.

Anyway, it is a victory for white.  Let's celebrate. 

ok

33 … e5+ wins a Rook.

Amazing skill...I would have to be conscious...
