1 b5! should win. 1…cb5 2 cb5 kd6 3 kf5 and white will queen a pawn two tempi before black by my calculation. 1…c5? 2a4 is even simpler for White.
-Justin Daniel
1 b5! white wins thanks to the extra tempi afforded by the a4 pawn.
ok humour me.
b5! c5
then what?
Would a4 a6 first help? Then it’s the famous 3 vs 3 and b5 should then win?
yeah true – c5 then what? it’s a draw
1.b5 c5 then….. 2.a3/a4.winning.
ok humour me some more
b5! c5
a3 or a4
then what?
1.b5 c5 2.a3 then?? there may be dirrerent variations.If 2. …. Kd6, 3.Kf5 and if 2. …. Kf6, 3.Kd5.
