Nov-12-11		Peligroso Patzer: Fridstein's loss to Lutikov in this game: G Fridstein vs Lutikov, 1954 is an instructive tragicomedy. In the final position: click for larger view the draw was still to be saved with <60. Rb4+> (so that after <60. � Kd3 61. Rxb3>, the remaining Black pawn would be pinned), as noted in Dvoretsky, Mark, �Dvoretsky�s Endgame Manual�, 2nd Edition (Russell Enterprises, Inc., �2006), p. 140 (Diagram 8-25). Instead, Fridstein resigned(?)! One lesson to be taken from this example: Two connected passers on the 6th rank (algebraic third for Black) do not <always> win against a Rook (even with the defender's King not particpating in efforts to prevent the pawns' advance). One always needs to analyze the tactical possibilities.
