an endgame mirage

Post by mclark »

This one came up about a month ago in a game that I lost to Kingsrow. I like endgame positions such as this one with six to eight pieces on the board that may look really simple at first glance but that illustrate a combination of principles after digging a little deeper.

Black to play, White to win
