Sep-27-21  Straclonoor: Very difficult pawn ending. It longs from 25th move to 63th! White had some advantage in the ending, black missed right way to equalize.

You’re doing great work with these posts on endgames (especially those which haven’t received much attention). Much appreciated and keep it up!

Dec-11-21  Olavi: This is a very famous endgame. I, for one, am not convinced by Stockfish yet, but will hopefully remember to compare human analysis, produced over the decades, against it - a very unfashionable thing to do. In any case the line above doesn't include the ideas that have been thought necessary to win.

I would be very interested in seeing the human analysis as well. What are the ideas that have been thought necessary to win? This has been one of the endgames I’m most fascinated by since I first saw it.

Dec-11-21  Olavi: <0ZeR0>

Much to my surprise this ending has been seen at least a few times. But I doubt and wonder whether the players were familiar with published analysis. I remember a very thorough article from the mid 90s, I will try to find it.
