Actually, I think, >we are doing these things very differently. > in a king and pawn (only) ending, having two connected passed pawns is _far_ worse than having two separated (or split passed pawns. IE I have a pawn at a2 and h2, you have connected passers at d7/e7. I win easily. A single king can stop both pawns if they are connected. A single king has no hope with passed pawns that are split. The wider the "gap" the easier the win. >>Based on the >>starting position. Black is just lost. > >Yes. > >Regards, >Dieter
