	Endgame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Generally (but not always), if black's king can reach the queening square of the pawn the game is a draw (see Philidor position), otherwise White wins (if it is not a rook pawn).
		The game is a draw if the black king can reach any square in front of the pawn that is not of the color of the bishop.
		A general rule is that if the weaker side's king can get to the queening square of the pawn, the game is a draw and otherwise it is a win, but there are many exceptions.

	Limited Doublemove Chess
		The game called Doublemove Chess has a "no check, capture King" rule that I don't like, and therefore I prefer to use the rules of Balanced Marseillais Chess as the basic doublemove rules referred to by the other games.
		A Pawn on the second rank still has its double-step, even if it moved and was undone; Castling is still legal even if it was previously attempted and undone.
		I forget; but the idea is that the Pawns appear and disappear all the time); in (forget the name), you subtract an enemy Pawn; in another, retreat an enemy Pawn; and so on.

		In the early stages, Kasparov seized a black pawn and built a wall of pawns that restricted his opponent to ineffective moves that were ridiculed as "silly" by chess experts at the New York Athletic Club venue.
		The grandmaster's victory was what he needed to stay in contention in the four-game match.
		Kasparov will face X3D Fritz for the final game on Tuesday.

	Mind Sports Zine - An introduction to basic chariot and pawn versus chariot endings
		This is because a lone pawn wins as long as it is high enough to move in and trap the defending king.
		End games where one side has a chariot (rook) and a pawn over the river, the other side has a chariot, and neither side has any defenders, are a win in almost every case.
		Comparable struggles often occur during the middle game, sometimes with the kings playing a key role.

		Second, since queen and king versus king endgames are trivial and a simple algorithm can be written to lead to a win, the goal of this paper focuses on obtaining a queen by queening the white pawn (or preventing this as black).
		A few behaviors to notice in the white player in Figure 5: his king remains immediately next to the pawn the entire game, the pawn is aggressively moved forward, and the king remains in front of or beside the pawn (never behind it).
		This means that a black king can legally move in front of a white pawn, but may not legally move diagonally in front of a white pawn.

	Chess openings: Uncommon King's Pawn Opening (B00)
		I've played a few dozen games with it, and the main challenge for black has been holding enough space in the center without weakening the pawn structure.
		Though white can open up the position with moves like a4, black has an easy enough time covering the king without full pawn coverage.
		Black faces a risk of straight-on kingside assault due to the difficulty of transposing pieces to the kingside.

	Humpy becomes the youngest woman ever to become a Grandmaster
		WIM Moser Eva sacrificed a pawn(5th move) early in the opening to take the initiative and to develop king side attack, but humpy moved her d pawn to d5 square to undermine e4 pawn and got control over f5 square and in the center after that the game slowly turned in to Humpys favor.
		In the 39th move Humpy made a dubious pawn sacrifice in the king side and obtained two clear passers on the queenside but the position is unclear till the end of the game.
		After some middle game maneuvers both the players reached an equal position at this stage of the game Weiss proposed a draw in the 30th move that Humpy refused.

	rediff.com: Anand, Ivanchuk draw
		In the Grunfeld defence game, Van Wely employed the Fianchetto variation and caught Leko off guard in a tactical web that guaranteed the advance of his passed Queen pawn with an exchange sacrifice.
		The white king tries to protect his pawn; Black captures on g2, and as it stands at that point White would come out on top.
		The Caro Kann defence opted for by Ivanchuk, who has so far drawn all his games here, proved a much tougher nut to crack than Anand had anticipated.

		A few behaviors to notice in the white player in Figure 5: his king remains immediately next to the pawn the entire game, the pawn is aggressively moved forward, and the king remains in front of or beside the pawn (never behind it).
		This is a typical chess endgame strategy which can be very important in getting to the right square at the right time (the "indirect" triangle method takes an extra move more than the direct method to get to the same square).
		In a normal chess game, there are two players, white and black, both starting out with 16 pieces of 6 different types.

		If the king blocks the pawn and the pawn is on the seventh, then it depends whose move it is. A bishop pawn or a centre pawn is best to have, while a rook pawn is the worst.
		Against a knight or centre pawn, the method is to force the king to block his own pawn then advance the king one square at a time.
		Rooks and pawns get stronger as the game approaches the endgame so the player with these should aim for this phase of the game.

	Chess problems: A proof game
		However, a Pawn can give checkmate, that is, a Pawn can be the piece that would capture the King if the game were not ended by checkmate.
		The King is never actually taken, since checkmate ends the game immediately before the capture of the King.
		A nice form of `retrograde' chess problem is the proof game (also often called: shortest proof game.)

		Employing the Kings Indian attack with white pieces, the Indian did not have any opening advantage, but he outfoxed his superior opponent in a rook and pawn ending.

		She took seven points at a stretch and attacked right from the start to take the game at 11-1.

	The Chess Oracle - Hemel Hempstead Chess Club 2004-2005 Results
		The first signs of change were in Andrews game, he was a pawn down but had two potentially strong bishops and an attack against the king brewing, against this, his opponent had a off-side knight and a pair of passive rooks.
		I then almost spoiled the night by playing a drawing/losing king move, a case of right idea wrong direction, meanwhile Phil was about to pinch my idea, rook sacrifice for advanced pawn leaving connected passed pawns to win against the opponents rook and without any chances of messing it up.
		From there on the games started to go in different directions, Phil played accurately but his opponent made a bit of a mess of his side and was soon in some trouble, my game was also going to plan and I had 'calculated' rook sacrifice and a winning connected passed pawn ending.

		The two knights and two bishops, with the bishops attacking the king's bishop's pawns, is characteristic of this opening.
		If you are black and this is played against you, consider taking the gambit pawn (usually best) and then moving up your pawn to g5 to support the pawn you just used to take the gambit pawn.
		This tends to be a quieter game than those in which gambits are used.

	Kunte moves up after draw
		Rowson stuck to the Queen pawn opening as white and faced the Kings Indian defence from Kotronias.
		The game started with a Slav defence but Conquest, transposed it into a closed Grunfeld with black pieces and had an easy game on hand as Kunte allowed a thematic central breakthrough early in the middle game.
		The Dane could boast of a definite advantage after rather passive play by Gormally in the middle game, arising out of a Queen's Indian defence.

		The best try for an equal game was 3...Qe7, skewering White's knight, pawn, and king.
		White was behind in material almost the entire game, including in the final position, but came away with the victory nonetheless.
		Notice that, although material considerations are very important in chess thinking, one doesn't win by having the most pieces.

	Aron Nimzowitsch vs Siegbert Tarrasch (1914)
		Of course, Kasparov's move was even stronger...it may have been a queen-side weakness he provoked, but he repositioned the bishop on d3 after the pawn advanced, and thus wound up being the guy doing the sacrificing on the king side later, after his hanging pawns were used up clearing the sac runway.
		Game ends with White's King being chased all over the board.

		White’s one pawn advantage was not sufficient to give the Indian a point since Ferenc, a former under-18 world champion, was defending the position with mathematical precision, and the game ended in a draw after 50 moves.
		In the girls’ championship, Korbut sacrificed a pawn on the 11th move to gain some attack on the rival king.
		In another game, Petrosian, playing white, gained some control on the seventh file after the 20th move, but the Iranian was able to defend with the exchange of minor pieces.
