im ont sure you have looked at all the lines,as i can see like 9 other winning moves.like f3.
Funny endgame
Sort:
Could you show me your lines? You play f3, I play f5. Now my Bishop has the whole diagonal to run to. Before my first post I had been pretty sure f3 (and other such moves) drew, but your post spurred me to put it into Fritz. When I played my move it gave White an advantage of ten pawns. When I played f3 it said White had a fifth of a pawn's advantage, which is essentially equal. I started playing all of Fritz's recommended moves after that and it just shuffled the Bishops around instead of trying to win, and that fifth of a pawn advntage promptly disappeared.
I played quite a lot of blitz with someone OTB recently and had quite a few crazy endgames (the only times I've ever had Q+R vs Q and Q+Q vs Q+R). The one that struck me as funniest was this one:
This position seems like it would be a good basis for an endgame study, but the best I could do is so simple it wouldn't be called a study. White to play and win.
If anyone can come up with a good study using this position, I'd love to see it.
