sndeww

probably not

Well, after 1. Kc2 Kd6 2. f6 gxf6, what does White play to draw?

Easy my favorite Endgame position is the R and King Endgames, the grind is fun and makes every move count that much more than some other endgames...

But even wit this siad R and K endgames are the most common and also most drawn out Endgames so this is something to keep in mind as well, but it is fine by me, win or draw I'll take it, as long as I am not losing.

Correct, and if SNUDOO was paying attention, that's enough to have this one memorized.

i like endgames that are challenfging and you can learn from

sndeww

draw, just shuffle the bishop between g2 and f1. If the king goes to g4 just check on h3.

the white king has stalemated himself

My first guess was draw because if it was a win then you wouldn't post it... tongue.png

sndeww

Yes, I guessed, but I actually bothered to see if my guess was correct lol

sndeww

That would be an inaccuracy
