January 6, 2021January 6, 2021 CM, FI Boris Sudar132

This month we will look at some endgame positions by Giambattista Lolli. The Italian master has published his famous book back in 1763! Lolli has analyzed this position in his Osservazioni. White must sacrifice his f-pawn to make progress. He has to capture the black pawn and easily win with his king on the […]
