{ Quite common are positions in which two opposing pawns stand on the same
file on one flank, while an unconnected passed pawn stands in the center or on
the other flank, as shown here. The typical winning plan for such a position
is: 1) arrange the pawns on the same rank, 2) defend the flanks with the rook,
3) cut the opponent's king off from the passed pawn, and 4) advance the king
towards the passed pawn. This was the plan followed by Black in this game. }
1...g5 $1 { Insufficient is 1...Rb2+ 2.Kh3 b5 3.Rb7 b4 4.Rb5+ Kf6 5.Kg4 when
White has activated all of his pieces, and counterplay against the opponent's
king and g-pawn ensures a draw. } ( 1...Rb2+ 2.Kh3 b5 3.Rb7 b4 4.Rb5+ Kf6

has to retreat to the first rank. Or 2.Ra6 Rb2+ 3.Kf1 (3.Kh3? g4+ and 4...Rh2
mate). 3...Kg4 4.Ra3 b5-+. } ( 2.Rf7+ Kg4 $19 ) ( 2.Rb7 Rb2+ ) ( 2.Ra6 Rb2+

{ In such endgames, the defender has a better chance to draw if he blocks the
passed pawn with the king. Or failing that, he should try prevent Black from
setting his pawns the pattern seen in this game, and aim for active
counterplay against the opponent's king and the flank with material equality.
