Every Saturday an endgame study is published at ChessVibes, selected by IM Yochanan Afek: player, trainer, endgame study composer and writer. A week later the solution is published. Good luck with the instructional occupation of solving a study!

    No way white is going to win this.
    The study is: White to play and draw! It is also not composed by Korolkov, but by Matous.

    I agree, there is only an quite easy draw with

    1.Nd4 Bxb5 (1… f2 2. Rb1) 2.Nxf3

    Thx Luc, you’re right, and it’s corrected now.

    @Thorex
    But how to draw after 1…f2 2. Rb1 Ne1…?

    @peter:
    Oops, i must admit that i neither saw nor checked that possibility. Well, not that easy at all…


Got something to say?
