Billy Twiggy-Molecey vs Daniel Sutton

A great game in the under 18 major came down to this pawn ending.

The position of Daniel's king gives him a winning advantage. Billy cannot allow the King to get to c4 and so he tried ... 1.a5 [1.b5 Kc5 2.f3 g5 winning as White has only bad moves available ! e.g. Kc2 is met by Kb4]

1...a6 This is the winning move (Daniel played Kc6 and the game ended in a draw).

2.f3 g5 3.b5 The only move, as if the King moves, Black wins with Kc4 3...axb5 4.a6 Kc6 5.Kxd4 Kb6 6.a7 Kxa7 7.Kc5 Ka6 8.Kb4 Kb6 9.Kb3 Kc5 10.Kc3 b4+ 11.Kb3 Kb5 12.Kb2 Kc4 13.Kc2 b3+ 14.Kb2 Kb4 15.Kb1 Kc3 16.Kc1 b2+ 17.Kb1 Kb3 18.g4 fxg3 19.f4 g2 20.fxg5 g1Q# 0-1
