Careless pawn recapture leads to lost endgame

Hot blooded and passionate Mexican/Spanish players often have an overly aggressive romantic way of expressing themselves chessically.

The problem experienced by ICC player Churrumais77 is that he was too forceful in a technical King and Pawn ending where patience and circumspection were of more value.

In the following diagram, with white to move, one pawn captures loses and the other retains drawing possibilities. White blundered with King takes pawn on the f4 square.  Do you see reason why this capture loses?  The  reason is posted beneath the commentary underneath the diagrammed position.

Adena Johnston, who must be a jerk herself, wrote sometimes being a jerk is the only way to be a good leader. I think this relates to behavior of many chess players in an obscure sort of way and would love to know if Adena would possibly concur?



Solution: Black captures White's g5 pawn which leads to the creation of an outside passed h pawn. As the White monarch chases down the distant passed pawn, the Black King ingests the c3 and b4 pawns and Queens one of his two passed pawns to decide the game!!!!
