Subject: A pawn majority example

Author: Howard Exner

Date: 14:23:14 10/13/99


Here's an example of pawn majority knowledge. A program
with pawn majority knowledge of the queen side configuration in this
example may well find the winning move Qg6+.

4Q3/6pk/2pq4/3p4/1p1P3p/1P1K1P2/1PP3P1/8 b - - bm Qg6;

After the exchange of queens will follow the the advance of the black king to
the kingside, then exchanges of the kingside pawns, and finally the king can
march over to pick up the queenside pawns. Is knowledge that white cannot break
through on the queenside essential for solving this? Would any program find Qg6?
