I n the Introduction of thebook "Pawn Endings" by Y. Averbakh and I. Maizelis, (1973) : The theory of pawn endings has been based on the experience of masters and the analyticel study of innumerableexamples. Also, endgame composers have made large contributions through artistic analysis and the exposition of certain general laws.The most valuable contributors to the development of this theory were Durand, who published some essays concerning key squares in 1860 and 1874; Dedrle, who considerably expanded that theory in 1921 and 1925; and Grigoriev, the distinguished investigator and outstanding artist, who laid the foundationon the theory of co-ordinate squares (1922) and made significant contributions to the study of pawn endingsand their laws.
Here an interesting article (in russian language) about Grigoriev

How about posting an interactive diagram ie the position set up as a puzzle or game that we can play thru? Posting "inert" diagrams only makes sense if you don't want most of the people who see it to be bothered trying to solve it
Ok I try. Never done before

THANKS for re-posting it I'd never have gotten it! I may have to "borrow" it for my endgame blogs on K+P multiple pawn endings!
