Die Mutter aller Bauernendspiele 28. August 2024 von Markus Hochgräfe Hallo Diogenesen! Auch nach stundenlangem Analysieren des Bauernendpsiels ist mir einiges unklar. Hält 46… h5 remis? [Event "FIDE Women\\'s World Cup 2023"] [Site ""] [Date "2023.08.09"] [Round "?"] [White "Eline Roebers"] [Black "Harika Dronavalli"] [Result "1/2-1/2"] 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5.

Shall White exchange everything or stay at the rook ending?} 44. Rxf8+ (44. Qxd4 exd4 45. Rb5?! {The rook ending is drawn} Re8 46. Rxa5 Re3 47. Rd5 Rxb3 48. Rxd4 Ra3 49. Rxd6 Rxa4 50. Rb6 b3 51. Rxb3 Rxc4 {3 vs. 2 pawns on one wing is drawn}) 44... Kxf8 45. Qxd4 exd4 46. Kg1 { <div class="uichess-chessgame-diagramAnchor">[]</div> Now the big question: What to do with Black? Basically, Black has 3 choices: Move the king to the center with Ke7 or try to limit White’s possibilities on the king side with …g5 or …h5} Ke7? (46... g5? {This also don’t work due to Whites nice 50. move} 47. Kf2 Ke7 48. Ke2 Ke6 49. Kd3 Ke5 50. g4! (50. g3 h5 {is draw}) 50... Kf4 51. Kxd4 Kxf3 52. Kd5 {And White wins}) (46... h5! {This move seems to draw but it is very very narrow and the Engines need a long time to come to a final conclusion} 47. Kf2 d5! {This move now, before White can answer with Kd3} 48. cxd5 (48. c5 h4 {blocks the majority and draws}) 48... Ke7 49. Kg3 h4+ ({or as alternative} 49... Kd6 50. Kf4 h4 51. Ke4 Kc5 52. d6 Kxd6 53. Kxd4 Ke6) 50. Kf4 Kd6 51. Ke4 Kc5 52. d6 Kxd6 53. Kxd4 {For me as a human it is absolutely not clear why this is drawn with a pawn up. The main reason is the advanterous Black queenside pawn formation. THe b4 pawn is the key} Ke6 54. Ke4 {Here are now several variations possible. One example:} Kf6 55. f4 Ke6 56. f5+ Ke7 57.

Kf2? {A big mistake} (47. f4! {White can and must do something to gain space on the kingside immediately} d5 48. c5 Kd7 49. Kf1 Kc6 50. Ke2 Kxc5 51. Kd2! {This one is far from obvious, at least for me} (51. Kd3? h5 {Draws}) 51... Kd6 52. Kd3 Ke6 53. g4 g6 54. Kxd4 Kd6 55. f5 gxf5 56. gxf5 h5 57. h4 Kc6 58. Ke5 {and White wins}) 47... d5? {But not that move, now it is lost again} (47... h5! {draws, similar to other variants}) 48. c5! Kd7 49. Ke2 Kc6 50. Kd3? {This move is bad and draws. No need to force Black to take on c5. Much more important is to start the majority} (50. f4! Kxc5 51. g3 g6 52. Kd2! (52. Kd3? h5) 52... Kd6 53. Kd3 Kc5 54. g4 {wins for White}) 50...
