When you get into the main chess forum and talk of things you know little about, you do a disservice to yourself and the rest of the site.
Boy oh boy,
That is
bad news Mr. RJ. When the Christians hate you, then you're
really in
for it. It sounds to me like just about everyone hates RJ. However there are still
people who love you RJ!
(not me)
No, no, you still have the Buddhists Mr. RJ. All you need is to convert. Besides, if
you do convert you might improve your chess by say - another 500 ratings points.
Oh! And it wouldn't have to be artificial!
Buddhist Grandmaster Dibyendu Barua is an amazing player. Maybe he would show
you a thing or two. He's india's second grandmaster (behind Anand of course). Here
Mr. RJ this can be a learning experience. Watch Barua put away the great
V. Korchnoi.
This is one of the most magnificent endings ever played. (No motorboxes in sight)

Mr. Dibyenduh was in deep thought in the above position and here Mr. Dibyenduh
shows his knowledge of knight endings.
You have to know a little something about Knights and rook pawns to proceed here.
Mr. Dibyenduh knows that if he gets that h pawn to h7 the knight will only have one
square to defend the promotion (unmoved f pawns and c pawns in Knight RP endings)
So he takes a look at that square. That square is g6, which is attackable from e5.
This so happens to be a square he can attack and control. This will mean that the
promotion threat will be creating a defender --
remove a defender with Nxe5!
But thats not the end of the story. A knight
cannot defend pawns with separate
colored promotion squares! At least not alone it can't! The e pawn and h pawn are
examples of this principle. This means if he can remove that ugly f pawn, and get his
h pawn to h7... then he's set! He quickly must analyze the possibility of this ending
coming to fruition. He has the b8 knight
dominated.
Check. He can force the
queen exchange due to the kings attack on the knight.
Check. The knight has no
future on g2 - because
Nxe5 and
Bxb3 becomes problematic for Korchnoi.
Check.
Korchnoi will be just about forced to play Nc2 threatening the
fork (Nd4 if Bxb3).
Now Mr. Dibyenduh knows the basics (and some of the more difficult dynamics as
well). A few minutes of calculation and its all
together. The finish you were waiting for!

Mr. RJ, he may not have your natural (?) matchup abilities... but I'd eat my hat if he
couldn't show you a thing or two!
