In chess we have some legendary classical

endings, which are appearing from time to

time and in such cases top players have to
9-+-+-+k+0
demonstrate knowledge of classics. 9+-+-mK-+-0
Nowadays it is more difficult, as we have xiiiiiiiiy
special time control without adjourments
Incredibly, first time this position appeared
and 30 sec incriment. For this reason the
