Distant Past Pawns Beat Protected Passed Pawn

jmderbes of Argentina must of thought there was no way he was going to lose the following chess position played at the Internet Chess Club as he went into the ending with a protected passed pawn at d4.

Black has a 4-3 king side majority but no protected passed pawn. White has 4-3 queen side pawn majority.




However, White blundered by playing a move which allows Black  to create isolated passed e and a pawns which will overwork the White King as they advance to their Queening squares at e1 and a1 respectively.

In the diagrammed postion, White just played b3 which allows the aforementioned winning idea. See if you can find the pawn move which leads to victory in all variations, Clarence Yeung, for the second player despite White's protected passed d pawn!

Many THANKS to Clarence Yeung and his Honor Roll school who taught my son much more than chess! Mike learned critical thinking, time management, and other important life skills. He now has a beautiful wife, an excellent job, and a bright future due in large part to his world class teacher. Also a big thanks to Jim Liptrap for all his encouragement and making us aware of the chess community and the positive, life changing impact it can have on our youth.
