From a game I played at Sunday Chess Club. (Its not perfect, but it is both entertaining and instructive.)
(I had been at least one Pawn up the entire game. Then my
opponent "snuck" a Pawn in ... I just allowed him to do so.
I felt that his King and Bishop were incapable of stopping my Pawns ...
analysis would clearly demonstrate that my idea
was correct ... at no time in the game was I lost.)
The time control was one played at odds, my opponent had eight minutes, while I only had half that.
1...d3+;
2.Kf2?!, (Maybe - '?')
White is lost. The move played looks like the most natural defense, as the White King moves over to try and halt the advance of the two Black, connected & passed Pawns. However, the computer shows that Kd2 was a better defense in this position.
[ Even the best defense loses for White here. Here is the proof:
>/= 2.Kd2 g3!; 3.Bh4 Kf3;
4.Bf6, {Diagram?}
The Bishop goes here, so as to be able to play Bd4 - and catch the g-pawn before it reaches g1.
( Not </= 4.c6?, as 4...g2; "+/-" wins. )
4...Kg2!; {Diagram?}
Now that White can catch the button on the g-file, Black switches off and takes steps to insure
that his f-Pawn will promote.
5.c6 f3; 6.c7 f2;
7.c8Q f1Q; 8.Qe6 h5!; "/+" {Diagram?}
Several hours of analysis - with the computer
- confirms that this is a won position for Black.
]
2...g3+;
3.Kf1 f3!?;
This wins ... but I should have seen a quicker and better win for Black from this position.
[ >/= 3...g2+! "-/+" ]
Now Black wins in a very entertaining fashion.
4.Ba5 Ke3!!;
Now one threat that I have is 5...g2+; 6.Kg1, Ke2!; with a very easy win for Black.
(Black rams home a Pawn.)
5.c6!? f2!!;
6.c7, ('?' or '??')
This loses very quickly, but my opponent has not seen my winning idea yet.
(Both players were very short of time here.)
[ >/= 6.Kg2 Ke2; 7.Kxg3 f1Q; "-/+" ]
6...Kf3!;
7.c8Q g2#; {Diagram?}
An ending that is both a lot of fun to analyze, fun to play over ... and also very instructive as well.
