Gonnosuke and I are pounding out a fun rook and pawn endgame and thought that an "Endgame Blog" would be a good idea. It fits a niche' that doesn't have a spot on Chess.com (e.g. there's not an endgame equivalent to "tactics traininer"). Gonnosuke and I will post our game when done, with some anlayis of course. Any thoughts from the community?
Okay, we're done with the game and Gonnosoke and I agreed to a draw. This was a rook and pawn endgame, where I had an extra pawn. There may have been some play left, but not much. Anyway, let's take a look "early" on and then move along to discuss some critical positions. The first begins at move 32...
Black is able to win a pawn. I chose to go after the c-pawn and I think White picks the best defense. After 33.Rf4, I am concerned that my king will be tied to kingside unless I act quickly.
Hopefully, the next post will show my spectacular come from behind victory...but alas, I fear that endgame only exists in my imagination!
But on a serious note, it's an interesting position and no matter the outcome I hope we can help illuminate a portion of the game that doesn't get much attention.
