Also compare the following similar positions: [D] 1k6/8/8/8/PPP5/5p1p/8/6K1 w - - Here all three white pawns are advanced by two squares -> still won for black. Now we only advance a and c pawns: [D] 1k6/8/8/8/P1P5/5p1p/1P6/6K1 w - - And here white wins. White also wins in the next position: [D] 1k6/8/8/8/5p1p/8/PPP5/6K1 w - - And a serious question: how to see fast, which of those positions is won and which is lost? Can anybody do it without deep calculation? Regards, Dieter
