Two Pawns, One Blockade, Half a Point
Hold the draw against perfect play
Waking the engine…
The theory
Not every king and pawn ending is a race. Many are held by a pawn chain the enemy king cannot break, backed by accurate king play.
Mutual defense. When one pawn guards another, the enemy king cannot capture the front pawn without losing to the recapture. That standoff freezes the structure.
King in support. Use the opposition to keep the hostile king out of the squares where it could win a pawn or force a breakthrough. Every enemy advance meets a matching step.
In this drill the attacker probes with perfect technique. Keep the chain intact and mirror the king to earn the draw.
