  • S3 Ep14: Irving's King and Pawn Speed Run #15
    Irving's King and Pawn Speed Run #15

    The 15th in our series dedicated to king and pawn positions.  One position a week taken from Chernev's book Practical Chess Endings (1962).

    This week, for the first time, - king and a pawn against a king and a pawn.


    85 positions in total - it's going to be a loooooooong series -  ranging from the most basic imaginable of a king each and a single pawn on one side to really rather complex multi-pawn endings.


    PART ONE
    IKPSR 1-11: K+p v K

    PART TWO:
    IKSPR 1 - 14: K + 2p v K

    PART THREE:
    IKSPR 15 - ???: K+p v K+p
