For your first question, perhaps you'd like to tell me what's happening in this position? White's winning Black's winning It's a draw I haven't got a clue |
In this position White has TWO moves that draw - everything else loses. Remembering what you've just seen, can you find one of the DRAWING moves? |
If White moves his King to d5, Black has one way to win, one way to draw and two ways to lose. Can you find his WINNING move?
Kh4-g4 Kh4-g3 Kh4-h5 Kh4-h3 |
This time White has two pawns against one. What should he play here? |
In this position I'd like you to consider the moves f4-f5+ and g4-g5. Only f4-f5+ wins Only g4-g5 wins Both moves win Neither move wins |
Time for something a bit different - and another question. What would you suggest White played in this position? |
And, just for the sake of completion, tell me what White would play if Black took with the h-pawn instead after g5-g6.
|
It was easy that time, wasn't it? The same thing again, but on the other side. This time White forces home a Pawn by playing f5-f6 first, and, if Black takes, then h5-h6. |
What do you think's going on here? White's winning It's a draw Don't know Don't care |
