The Locked Majority Holds
Hold the draw against perfect play
Waking the engine…
The theory
A pawn majority that cannot advance is no advantage at all. This position is a clean two-versus-one draw held by blockade.
The jam. The pawns lock so that the extra pawn is walled in behind its neighbor. No white pawn move improves anything without losing material.
King to the wall. The defender marches the king to the square in front of the pawns and stays there, taking the opposition against any invasion attempt.
In this drill the whole task is arriving at the blockade and never leaving it. Do that and the perfect attacker cannot create a single threat.
