[D] 4q1k1/p1p2p2/3p2pp/2pP1r2/2P5/1PQ5/P4PPP/4R1K1 b - - 0 26 Is it safe for Black to play ...Re5 and allow the exchanges of Rooks and Queens (can Black hold that K+P endgame)? I played this on the 'net (via Fritz7) and won as White, but both sides made many blunders (fast game). I used Fritz 6 afterwards to help me analyze, but I'm still quite uncertain. The game continued: 26...Re5 27.Rxe5 Qxe5 28.Qxe5 dxe5 29.Kf1 f5 30.Ke2 Kf7 31.a3 Ke7? [31...a5] 32.b4 cxb4 33.axb4 Kd6 34.Ke3 c5? 35.b5 g5 36.Kd3? [36.g4! wins immediately] 36...h5 [36...e4+ 37.Ke3 Ke5 38.Ke2 f4 39.Kd2 g4 40.Ke2 Kf5 unclear] 37.Ke3 Kc7 38.f3 Kb6 [38...Kc8] 39.Kd3 a6?! [39...Kc7] 40.d6?? [40.bxa6 Kxa6 41.Ke2! Kb6 unclear] 40...axb5?? [40...a5! -+] 41.cxb5 h4 42.Kc4 [42.h3 Kb7 43.Kc4 e4 44.fxe4 fxe4 unclear] 42...h3?! [42...e4 43.fxe4 fxe4 44.h3 Kb7 unclear] 43.gxh3 Kb7?? [43...e4 44.fxe4 fxe4 45.Kc3 Kb7 46.Kc2 c4 47.Kd2 Kb6=] 44.Kxc5 f4 45.Kd5 Zeit 1-0 There were several K+P positions during the game (or in the notes) that I consider unclear. Can anybody provide a clear view on any of these?: [D] 8/p7/7p/1PpP1k2/2P1ppp1/8/4KPPP/8 w - - 0 41 [D] 8/8/1k6/2pPpppp/2P5/5P2/4K1PP/8 w - - 0 42 [D] 8/1k6/3P4/1Pp3p1/2K1p2p/7P/6P1/8 w - - 0 45 [D] 8/8/1k1P4/1Pp3p1/2K1p3/7P/7P/8 w - - 0 45 Thank you for any help! -Roy.
