Thanks Graham, your definitions are crystal clear! :-) With those, I can get some ideas on scoring candidates but still have some doubt on outside passers. If I get the idea correctly, the strength of an outside passer is that it's far from the "main" play area, so it can advance with more freedom and if king has to stop it, it has to do so at the cost of leaving a good position or maybe material. Is this true? And if so, is it limited to pawn-only endgames or has some relevance with other pieces on the board?
