More proof that King and pawn endings are more complicated than they appear...

This game is a great example of how King position and pawn structure development can balance a Pawn deficit.

hicetnunc: Yes, I was surprised and happy to see Rd1. I would imagine that he would have some winning chances if he plays f3 exf3 Kxf3, but that's exactly the ending I was looking to hold on the black side.

Thank you for your comments - it's very surprising that he went for this pawn ending - looks like asking for trouble, while so many rook endings are drawn
