Hastings GP January 2010
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
