{ Black has several advantages: a queenside pawn majority, control of the open
c-file, and the weakness of White's a- and d-pawns. } 1...Ke6! { Excellent!
Black rejects 1...Rc3+ 2.Ke4 Rxa3 even though this wins a pawn and creates two
connected passed pawns, because White, by coordinating the efforts of his
king, rook and passed d-pawn, would organize strong counterplay. It is
doubtful that Black could win in this line. After the text Black does
seriously threaten 2... Rc3+, because if then 3.Ke4?? f5 mate! } (1...Rc3+
2.Ke4 Rxa3) 2.Rb3 Kd5 3.Rd3 f5! { White is in zugzwang. After exhausting his
pawn moves, White is forced to lose a pawn. } 4.h3 h5 5.Ke2 { Or 5.Rd2 (5.h4
g6 makes no difference) 5...Rc3+ 6.Rd3 Rxd3+ 7.Kxd3 a5 with an easily won pawn
endgame because of Black's outside passed pawn. } (5.Rd2 Rc3+ 6.Rd3 Rxd3+
7.Kxd3 a5 $19) (5.h4 g6) 5...Rxd4 6.Rc3 Re4+ 7.Kd2 { After 7.Kf3 Black's
queenside pawns decide the game quickly because White's king is cut off. } h4

15.Kd1 { If 15.h4 this pawn will perish quickly. White's situation is
hopeless. } Ke4 16.h4 f3 17.Ke1 Kf4 18.h5 Rc1+ 19.Kf2 Rc2+ 20.Ke1 Kg3 21.h6

classic endgame combines almost all methods for realization of positional
advantage. } {#R} 0-1
