Hello Dan, You remove the board, alright we will analyze blind folded. I agree but black has some hidden resources at the kingside, my most concerned formation, is when black can establish a dual pawns at e5/f5 (I want to have access at e4 and f5 to have a fair share of the position). White can get paralyzed primarily on the center and secondarily more paralyzed at the kingside now than before. Our king normally should not be found in the queenside. I think at this point now, that it still the center that is of utmost importance. White's chance is not on the queenside because black's king is already there, as pointed out also by Bob. >As you have seen from the previous >analysis black should try to get his a pawn to a4. I have not seen that analysis. Maybe that is coming from another variation. >Therefore I wonder what you >have in mind for white after: 1. Rxd6+ Kxd6 2. g4 Kc5 3.h4 3. f3! (if we will not move f3 at this instance black will bind us with 4... e4!! because his king is already at c5 right) >g6 4. h4 f6 5.

Ke4 Kxc4 (7. g5 seems to lose and 7. h5 leads to a queen endgame with >pawn down, might be a draw, don't have five man tablebases)) Queen ending easily draws, and as a side note, Q+P vs. Q when the pawn is a rook/knight pawn is usually drawn with limited exceptions only, even if it reaches the 7th/2nd rank. From the game its no need to search more on the resulting queen ending, it most likely a draw. Overall my attempt is to attack black's kingside/weaken pawn structures there. The idea of 2. g4 is based on the following, "one way of making the majority ineffective is to advance the minority as far as possible". Cheers, Dinan
