Adrian Mikhalchishin:

Legendary endings

In chess we have some legendary classical
endings, which are appearing from time to
time and in such cases top players have to
demonstrate knowledge of classics.
Nowadays it is more difficult, as we have
special time control without adjourments
and 30 sec incriment. For this reason the
importance of studying endgame is
obvious. Interesting to see one recent
example, how top player founded classical
manoevre. And if it is still question - do
they know it or they try to find it during
the game? We used to call this process
many years ago - to reinvent the bicycle!
This position was analyzed 150 years ago!

He built the perfect Harwitz position and
can proceed with King to c1, according to
Chekhover manoevre, but Ponomariov is
not convinced yet!

study, but which first was found by
Horwitz. Now it is easy.

There are funny annotations of the legend
of Yugoslavian chess IM Rudolf Maric.
First, it seems that he does not know which
Dorfman plays - it was not IGM Josif but
weaker player Cicero, plus Maric is not
aware of Horwitz analysis!

After war generation was not very precise
in the endgames and in German magazin it
was considerred as a draw! And it was
written, that everybody has to know how to
play such endings! But Ernst Gottschalk
from Braunschweig wrote a letter about
this mistake. Then it was some long
discussion, during which, the old analyse
of Harwitz was remembered.

This is important finding, how to get
favourable position. But it was found by
Harwitz many years ago. There were no
endgame databases, so such eminent
composer repeated old finding!

IGM John Nunn in his excellent book
Secrets of Minor-Piece Endings developed
the subject maximally and said probably
the last word in the theory of this position
(not in practice!). For every payer it will be
extremely instructive just to follow and to
enjoy John Nunns findings!
