Thank you. I'll call that one 'The Dance of the Kings.' It is interesting, given how valuable tempos (tempi?) are usually claimed to be, that both of white's rear pawns only moved forward one square as their first moves, instead of two. But then, white is playing for a draw I suppose.
Oh, and who or what is fritz7? And what is an endgame table?
Originally posted by SirLoseALotWell done. Fritz made my proposed line look pretty silly, and reminded me of just how little I really know about king and pawn endgames. But I'll bet it would have worked against the guy that had Black in that game. 😀
I played it against fritz7,15 minutes each.I don't have endgame tables for it so it may not be the best play from his side,nor from my side for that matter 😉
White has to be very carefull,I managed to lose twice before I found the right path.Though that might only indicate how bad I am at endgames....
