Welcome to this active site. Each week I am going to present to you an endgame position for you to solve or to workout the best continuation. Computer analysis will also be considered. Some of these positions will come from actual historical games. Others will be composed endgame studies, but all the solutions will be relevant to the practical game. The new position will occur each SUNDAY and I will always be pleased to receive POSITIVE feedback about the positions and the analysis and I will try to acknowledge these where relevant.

In a practical situation White would probably be quite happy to draw this ending especially as Black has two passed pawns . But deeper analysis will reveal that White can play for a win because the dominated Black Knight can eventually be captured, plus the two Black pawns, leaving the winning KNBvK ending.
