Was reminded of John Watson's excoriation of rule dependence when when Chisel playing out of the United Kingdom played a3 believing his outside passed pawn would win. However Black's counter shot c3 forces resignation.
White might catch up to the Black queenside pawns, but the Black King at e5 would rush to ingest white's defenseless peons at h3 and g3.
YouTube superstars MatoJelic and ChessFactor both seem to advocate unconditionally that outside passed rook pawns win in all variations. Maybe I was just more drunk than usual that night when viewing those videos cuz Nicky Pert does not make many mistakes when pontificating about the Royal Game!
