[b]If you have a passed pawn then that is something to work with.
A passed pawn in a Q + P ending can mean you are winning, even if you
are two or three pawns down. The win then can appear trivial.
Originally posted by SupermanI think a computer will show this with a substantial plus for white initially, but I don't see a good way for white to create a passed pawn, so I suspect that there is no progress to be made.
