Instructive example

Black has to take the (distant) opposition in order to capture the corresponding squares:

1...Kb5! 2 Kc1

2 Kb2 Kb4! –+.

2...Kc5! 3 Kd1 Kd5! 4 Ke1 Ke5! 5 Kf1 h5! 6 Ke1 h4! (12.06) 7 Kf1 Kd4! 8 Ke2 Ke4! 9 Kf2 Kd3! 10 Kf3 h3! –+

V.Filippov – I.Zakharevich

Russian Ch (Elista) 1996

Key squares are a6, b6 and, due to the spare move c4, also e5. Thus d4=1=e6 and along the shortest way d4-c4-b4-a5=1-4=e6-d7-(c7/c8)-b7. There are also d3=5=e7 and e3=2a=f7.

1...Ke8!

Brilliant defence! Black recognizes the system of corresponding squares.

2 Kd2

2 Kd3 Ke7! 3 Kc4 Kd7! 4 Kd4 Ke6! 5 Kc4 Kd7! 6 Kb4 Kc7 7 Ka5 Kb7!:

a) 8 c4 Ka7! 9 Kb4 Kb7 (9...Ka6? 10 Kc3! Ka5 11 Kd4 Kb4 12 Ke5! Kxc4 13 Kf6 +–) 10 Kc3 Kc7 11 Kd4 Kd7 12 Ke5 Ke7! =.

b) 8 Kb4 Kc7 = (but not 8...Ka6? 9 Kc4! Ka5 10 Kd4 Kb5 11 Ke5 +–).

2...Kd8 3 Kc2 Kd7 4 Kb3 Kc7
