Endgame magic: Simple enough if you think first

Chess news and chess trivia blog (c) Alexandra Kosteniuk, 2010

Hello Everyone,

Here's a simple endgame. Think for a while before playing the solution in the flashplayer below. If you get the basic idea of how to break Black's defenses then you will be able to secure a win for White easily.

So, don't rush. Just think a bit and then decide what to do in a situation like this. Easy enough.

    "Kc5 first looks best than b4" I think your right, b4 invites Kd6 2. b5 a5 and Whites job is at least a little harder I think. BB.

    It's a question of the underlying idea I think.
