Swiss endgames.

Solve this diagram without moving the kings, and right what you think to the questions below:
1.) who wins in this position

2.) what is this called?

Remember to answer without moving the king.

If its white to move, white wins.

If its black to move, black wins.

I think Bacon nailed it. I'm terrible at endgames, but this one I could figure out. As far as what it's called, would it be a kind of overworked king situation? The side to move first can create threats on both sides of the board. (If White to move, 1. a5 freezes Black's queenside pawns.. If Black to move, 1...b5 creates a queenside passer.)

White wins anyway, black is too far from promoting

I don't think so. If it's Black to move, 1...b5 puts the White king outside of the square of the pawn. White can't catch the black pawn.

Right. If either side to move they will win. This is called "The deep Freeze"

As Silman calls it

This is from Sliman's endgame course, you're right.
