Hey everyone, I want to record a video tutorial explaining a very nice endgame tactical exercise. Can anyone help by posting a puzzle? Thank youuuuuu!!!!!!! happy.png

Here's a very nice endgame puzzle a strong player recently introduced me to:

White: Pawns on g7,g6, King on g8, Rook on f2

Black: King on e7, Rook on h1.

How does white win? Note that the typical Lucena strategy fails due to the g6 pawn.

Ahhahaha nice! 1. Re2! Rd7 2. Re6!! Rf1 3. Rf6!!! (amazing!)

Thanks it's a great example!

Right - also if 3...Re1, trying for perpetual, then 4.Rf2, and if 4...Ke7 5.Rh2.

Combines a bunch of endgame themes.

Hi 

Here they play the black ones. What is the best move? I would like to provoke a tie by playing with the black ones.

Thanks!

the first puzzle looks like O. Duras' study except shifted from the b to g file.
