PAWN RIOT VS The Forum Move 41

Originally posted by mathmo
From Ptobler's analysis, Nf5 and the following exchanges on f5 look good. I think its less sure against quieter responses. What if:

41. ... Nf5 42. f4 It will now take us more time to capture g5 and whites rook can cover h1 much quickly than ours

41. ... Nf5 42. Re4 To stop the h pawn advancing (42. ... h4 43. Nxf5 Rxf5 44. Rxh4+ Kg7 45. g4 poor)
...[text shortened]... s best try but now i give up

Anyhow, thats my first attempt at any analysis for this thread.

i think 42.Re2 gives away a move to 42. .. Rxg5 in any scenario. if he sits his rook on e2 and tries to push his c or a pawn we play ...a5+ whenever he moves his king to b4 to help the the pawns forward. so he'd be lost if he tries to stop our pawn. counter play is his only option.

I never consider it, this is why I lose games to 1400s.


Right, back into calculations.

Switching sides, it is hard to stop the pawn, But i think he can do with a manevoeur like Re8-d8-d1 after moving the knight.

I support Ng2.

ok so we understand that we have to promote the pawn no matter what it takes keeping that in mind here are some shallow lines(not showing many sidelines that don't pertain to our goals) main response is 42.Re7 i am almost positive he will play this since it is an eventuality no matter what (he needs to get rid of our a pawn plus before we land it safely on a5) 42...Kg8! this is the only way to play for the win. (42...Kg7 43. Ne6+!) now if 43.Re8+ Kg7 44.Re7 Kf8 and if 43.Kb4 Rxg5 44.Rxa7 h4 both look good. more later. this was a pain to type on my phone. edit: hmmm i'll have to look more at 42.Ra8.

I switch my vote to 41...Ng2 - this move also has the advantage of deterring him from moving his f-pawn of course

It prevent him from blocking the pawn from e1 too. That move many purpose and treat to prmote the pawn in 4 moves, so he have to react.

People should switch there vote for Ng2 a move missed easily

If he blocks our rook after 41...Ng2 with 42. Nb5 we can still run our pawn... 42...h4 43. Re2 h3 44. Rb2 (e.g.) Ra6 (also consider 44...Ne3, 44...Nf4) 45. Rb1 Re6 46. Rh1 Nf4 47.Nd4 Re5

I agree that ...Ng2 looks like the strongest winning attempt for us at this point, and is at least drawn. That is, according to me fussing around with some pieces earlier today while bored....😀

Always a reliable source of analysis.

Ng2 seems to be the consensus - sorted

I've just player that fending three time with a friend rated 1500 and I won all three games. There be something wrong with white here, Maybe a4 is an error or mistake. but no blunder...

I will try to get to this before the day is over.

Ng2 is our move, and I am sending it now.
