I thoroughly enjoy chess studies that task us with finding a seemingly impossible draw from a position that looks totally lost. Chess puzzles like these push the boundaries of what’s possible on the chessboard and a regular dose of such compositions will help young players stretch their own chess imaginations. So nothing makes this chess coach happier than watching a student’s joy at solving an amazing chess endgame study such as this one by Afruniev. Of course, in my classes I tend to ask questions to lead pupils in the right direction. Here, you are on your own which is why I betcha can’t solve this chess puzzle!
