Strategy books say that one should always capture towards the center with pawns. While this is useful in the middlegame due to the pawn's influence, in the ending it is often more useful to have outside passed pawns. The present game was played against Jonathan Baker, who was in the midst of a successful run that would catapult him from the A section to master. In it I was able to slow Baker down a little through a K+P endgame in which black has only his king and 4 rookpawns. |
