Not too surprising, as that blockade looks hard to lift.
Interesting position
Sort:
Not hard, impossible! It's the black king's position that is key, the rook just happens to be blocking too in this example.
But also crucial are the files the pawns are on. This position is a win for white because of the room on the right.
Connected passed pawns, rook behind a pawn. What could go wrong?
Anyone know the history of this position (or similar ones)?
