May-23-07  mjk: Oops! 100... ♔b2? loses; only 100... ♔c2! draws. <Nalimov>
Dec-18-08  Judah: Yes, Black needed to stay on c1/c2, within striking distance of f3. White cannot capture the f-pawn and return to defend f3 in time to stop Black from reaching f3 first and winning the game. In fact, if he carelessly steps off the e-file at all, Black will force him into a zugzwang, where, by virtue of Black's having the opposition and f3's being closed to White, Black will win the game. For the same reason, White cannot go to e3, because Black will play Kd1, forcing him onto the f-file (if he wants to defend at all) and into aforementioned zugzwang. Therefore, his only reasonable option is to shuffle back and forth between e1 and e2, whilst Black does the same on the facing file. Which is how this game <should> have ended...
