Chess Position Worth Sharing! 154

Advertisements

While scrolling through Facebook, I noticed one of my favorite chess authors posting an endgame study created by one of my favorite chess composers. In a rather fortunate coincidence, this particular king and pawn endgame study fits nicely into a progression of studies I have been giving students to exercise their calculation skills. (See Chess Position Worth Sharing 153 and Chess Position Worth Sharing 152.) Of course, a delightful puzzle such as this is also a chess position worth sharing. So it is, with great pleasure that I am sharing this endgame study by the late master composer Mikhail Zinar that was brought to my attention by Facebook friend IM Cyrus Lakdawala. Enjoy…

White to move and win (Mikhail Zinar, Sochnev, 2014).
