White should maintain<br />his King in front of black passer or going to short side<br />[ 56.Kc1 Kc3 57.Kb1 Rh1+ ( 57...c4 58.Rc8 Rh1+ 59.Ka2<br />Rc1 60.Rh8 rook go to long side to give lateral check,<br />and if black try to prevent check with 60..Rd1 61.Rc8<br />white simply return back) 58.Ka2 simply going to short<br />side to give rook enough checking distance on long side.<br />This also explain white the knight pawn would be<br />winning in this case as there are no short side for the<br />defending King.58...c4 59.Rc8 Rc1 60.Rh8 Rd1 61.Rc8<br />Kd3 ( 61...Rd4 62.Kb1 black cannot make progress as<br />Kd2 63.Kb2 ) 62.Kb2= and white had establish Karstedt<br />defence ]<br />56...Kc3 Black is winning coz white cannot prevent lucena<br />position. 57.Rc8 c4 58.Rc7 Rh3+<br />59.Ke2 Rd3 60.Rc8 Rd4 61.Ke3 Rh4 62.Ke2 Kc2 ...0-1<br /><br />So, although its actually a draw, it worth to continue playing as our opponent may not know or he just in nick of time.whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09721292629413032081noreply@blogger.com
