[Event "K+R+P vs K+R+P"] [Site "www.masterchessopen.com"] [Date "1977.01.01"] [Round "0"] [White "Beliavsky"] [Black "Radulov"] [Result "0-1"] [EventType "swiss"] [EventCountry "RUS"] [FEN "8/5r2/R7/P7/6p1/5k2/1K6/8 b - - 0 1"] { The play is much more dynamic when both pawns are passed pawns. In this case, too, most positions are drawn. Each side advances his pawn, sacrifices the rook at an appropriate moment, and the draw is ensured by the remaining king and pawn. There are also a number of positions with positional features offering interesting ideas for victory. See again Diagrams #36 and 37 and consider them carefully. There, the decisive factor was the better coordination between the pieces. Another important factor is also whose pawn is more advanced. Black has one extra tempo, but one more refinement is necessary: } 1...Rf5! { The straightforward 1...g3 2.Kb3 g2 3.Rg6 Kf2 4.Kb4 g1=Q 5.Rxg1 Kxg1 6.Kb5 leads to a draw. After the text White cannot coordinate his pieces well. } (1...g3 2.Kb3 g2 3.Rg6 Kf2 4.Kb4 g1=Q 5.Rxg1 Kxg1 6.Kb5 $11) 2.Ra8 { Or 2.Kb3 g3 3.Kb4 g2 4.Rg6 Rf4+! and 5...Rg4+-. } (2.Kb3 g3 3.Kb4 g2 4.Rg6 Rf4+ $18) 2...g3 3.a6 Rf6! { A typical winning maneuver. 3... g2? 4.Rg8 Ra5 5.Rf8+ Ke2 6.Re8+ Kf2 7.Rf8+ Kg1 8.Rf6 or 3...Ra5? 4.a7 Kg2 5. Kb3 leads to a draw. If White played 4.a7, then 4...Rf7!. The text would be followed by 4...g2 and 5...Kf2, therefore White resigned. } (3...g2? 4.Rg8 Ra5 5.Rf8+ Ke2 6.Re8+ Kf2 7.Rf8+ Kg1 8.Rf6 $11) (3...Ra5? 4.a7 Kf2 5.Kb3 $11) (3...Rf6 4.a7 Rf7!) 0-1
