Apr-16-05		Whitehat1963: The master of the rook and pawn endings shows his stuff.

Oct-07-08		I Offer You A Resign: What's wrong with Kg7 at the end? It seems like maybe he might be able to hold the position?

Oct-07-08		Shams: <I Offer You A Resign> white doesn't need the h-pawn to win: 61.g7 d5 and now 62.xh6 e5 or 62. f6 e6 and in both cases the pawns fall easily.

Oct-07-08		tamar: <What's wrong with Kg7 at the end? It seems like maybe he might be able to hold the position?> if 61 Rg7 Rg3+ puts the question to the King. Then 62 Kxh6 Kd5 catches the f pawn

Oct-07-08		tamar: Or Shams way works too :)

Oct-07-08		Shams: <tamar> on general principle, though, you're right-- push the king around right away with Rg3+.

Nov-11-08		I Offer You A Resign: Just played it out. Thanks!
