Irving's King and Pawn Speed Run #8


The eighth in our series dedicated to king and pawn positions.  One position a week taken from Chernev's book Practical Chess Endings (1962).

This is another one that builds on IKPSR#3, but with a little build up to get there. There's an important little theoretical wrinkle in this one, but more importantly for us, a great visualisation exercise.

85 positions in total - it's going to be a loooooooong series -  ranging from the most basic imaginable of a king each and a single pawn on one side to really rather complex multi-pawn endings.
