Karjakin – Sevian

Famous Troitsky line says this is a draw. White has to stop the g-pawn on g6 and at that moment and of course with knight on g5, White is winning. In this particular position Black should decide which corner is the best for his king and Sevian made wrong decision moving the king toward […]

How to catch far advanced h-pawn? White to move and draw (W. Leick, 1930) (First try to solve the study without moving the pieces!)

N-273 (Prokop, 1925.)

May 7, 2019June 27, 2020 GM Vlatko Kovacevic200

This is a study by F. Prokop, 1925.
