| euripides: What happens after 45 Kg2 ? 45...e2 46 Kf2 looks drawn. After 45...Re2+ White might return to g3 or go to the first rank. 46 Kf1 is met by 46...Rf2+ 47 Ke1 fxg4 when Black looks winning. But 46 Kg1 or Kg3 look tougher. Paul <A 3 to 2 pawns rook ending is supposed to be winnable> not usually, if the pawns are on the same side, unless the attacking side has some extra advantage. |

| thegoodanarchist: <niemzo> Such positions where the rook keeps out the opposing king and achieves a draw against the queen are known as "fortresses" and are well understood by grandmasters. |

| Lifelong Patzer: A 40 plus move sharp endgame! The mind reels! This one requires repeat studying. |

| soberknight: Funny thing happened: I saw the game continuation, but I evaluated it as a win for Black and therefore chose Kg2 instead. It's still the closest I've come to solving a Sunday puzzle in some time. |

| Necessary Truths: <euripides> If 45. Kg2, then 45. ... Ra1. |

| Rocafella: Amazing draw yes, but I don't think it makes much of a puzzle! |

| kevin86: This puzzle is a perfect corrollary to today's GOTD. In both cases,white is able to hold a draw though down a rook for a queen. Here,the pawns immobilize black's pawns and serve as a resting spot for his rook on the fifth row. Black can make no progress-the game is drawn. |

| Knight13: <sharkbenjamin: Wow! What a draw? Never give up!> Ummm... Many people under 1600 always plays until they're checkmated so... I guess this only applies to stronger players. |

| dzechiel: Missed it. I didn't even consider a fortress approach. Spent all my time looking for some sort of stalemate combination (without success, I might add). |

| Trouble: Nice problem. still takes some accuracy to make sure black doesn't trade the queen for the rook |
