It's amazing how many tricks and tactics there can be hidden in
apparently simple pawn endings! Like this one - 5 pawns each, nicely
grouped. White has a latent passer on the queenside - and black ditto
on the kingside. Both kings are occupied by keeping an eye on these
runners, so it should be a draw - or...?
It's a position from Camacho Martinez - Hernandez, 1995.
White won it with the brilliant 1.g4!!
