Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-09-15  kereru: Very interesting pawn endgame. I believe 39.Ke2? was a losing blunder, but Black returned the favour with 40...f4? instead of the winning 40...a6!

39.Kd2! draws with accurate play, e.g. 39...Ke4 40.a5! a6! (threat was 41.a6) 41.Ke2 f4 42.c4! Kd4 43.b5 Kxc4 44.bxa6 bxa6 45.Kf3 Kb4 46.Kxf4 Kxa5 47.Ke3 Kb4 48.Kd2 Kb3 49.Kc1=

39.Ke2 loses a vital tempo, so that the King doesn't get back to c1 in time after capturing the f-pawn.
