Hello, it's nice of you to have gone deeply in the moves, especially for beginners. So often opposition is taken and lost immediatly, in practical games. It's an exercise worth repeating. BUT you drew the game at the end. ( 8:36 ) If black king goes to c8 and not b8, you'll have to abandon the c pawn, and it's drawing with the a pawn. White shouldn't push the pawn in front of his own king, he should go and get the other black pawn. Not that the pawn is needed, but the space or tempo loss is needed.
Glad you enjoyed thr video and yes If the black king goes to c8, we have Kxa4 and then we can come back to push the connected passed pawns. So the game would be a draw if we push the pawn in that scenario.
Exactly. White needs to capture all of the Black pawns, then win as if just King + c-pawn vs king, but with the a-pawn able to waste a tempo at the right time.
I played it against stockfish. And after a series of moves trying to get the opposition I finally managed to get it and forced black to take his pawns and push one of my pawns to promotion
Sorry , your guidlines are bad. Why should follow Black your thinkig ? at 2:32 we saw a draw, black will move only on b-Line and white only on d-Line .
1. Kf6 Kb6 and white no longer can regain opposition. Black will gain indirect opposition with this. There is only one move that works in the starting position.
What are they? I saw that White king needs to get to c8 then c7, pushing the Black king away from the c6 pawn, so are those the critical points, and the critical route is how to get there with opposition? What would that route be?
Yes that's the critical idea for this position. and the route for the white king covered in the video based on black's move is f5, f6, f7, e8, e7, d6, d7, c8

That's awesome! 😎

Because that position is a draw, white should not play Kd6 but rather Kf6 as the first move and move along the f file
Would Kf6 in the first move work?

@@YourAverageChessPlayer thanks
Ok white needs to be READY to play Kd6 when black plays Kb6. This another triangulation puzzle I think.
Rusian ches players make theory of critical point and critical route. It is much better explanation. Best regards.
Glad you enjoyed it!
