how do i make a passed pawn by sacrificing two pawns
Sort:
Basically, this is an endgame question. Lets suppose i have three pawns all next to eachother but none of them are passed pawns. How do i sacrifice 2 pawns to make a passed pawn when, let’s assume, they are blocked by pawns
It depends on the position, but oftentimes a breakthrough with pawns alone is not possible, unless the opponent plays poorly. You usually have to bring in your King or other pieces you may have left to help. You should also probably first try to play out the possible pawn moves in your head, since sometimes you can actually successfully sack how you wanted—it's very situational, however, so it should be looked at in a case-by-case basis.

Atachess68: in your position (in post #3) your solution is wrong. 1. e5 fxe5 2. fxe5?? throws away the win, as the black king is close enough to take the created passed pawn. 2. f5 is the only winning move in that line.
