Feb-23-18  Abdooss: From the wikipedia :
<This position from Nigel Short and Artur Yusupov in 1984[9] is an exception to the rule, since white's king is stuck in front of the pawn (Müller & Lamprecht 2001:199). White played 1. Rh3 (rook behind passed pawn), Black replied 1... Kf5 and a draw resulted a few moves later. The move 1. Rf7 by White leads to a win.> ... < https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarra... >
Jul-12-20  Dr Nahush: 12.h3 prevents Bg4 pin.
If 13.Bc2? it should be noted that Bxh3 is possible in such a position. Very tricky opening in deed
Jul-12-20  Dr Nahush: 55.c4 and white has a winning advantage according to the tablebases

<This endgame still pains me - making a draw, two pawns up, v Artur Yusupov, Thessaloniki Olympiad 1984. I inexplicably failed to follow team-mate John Nunn's perfect analysis at the adjournment.>
