It is very complicated and difficult to play. Cross-checks are often used as a device to win the game by forcing the exchange of queens. It is almost always a draw if the defending king is in front of the pawn {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|p=148}}. Karsten Müller and Frank Lamprecht say that this endgame occurs quite frequently but Mark Dvoretsky says that it occurs quite seldom {{harvcol|Müller|Lamprecht|2001|p=316}}, {{harvcol|Dvoretsky|2006|p=250}}. This is the second most common "piece and pawn versus piece" endgame, next to the rook and pawn versus rook endgame {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|p=148}}. {{algebraic notation|pos=tocleft}}HistoryBefore about 1940 all that was known about this endgame was based on some superficial analysis of a few positions from the time of Philidor (1726–95). Analysts gradually started to analyze the endgame. The endgame occurred in a 1944 game between Botvinnik and Ravinsky (below) and much analysis followed. Paul Keres published a large amount of analysis in 1947–49. This analysis was put to the test in the 1954 game between Botvinnik and Minev (below). Minev followed the suggestions of Keres and lost – revealing major flaws in the analysis. In 1955, Shakhmaty v SSSR started a competition for the best analysis of this endgame. Several theorists had contributed useful analysis by the time the competition ended in 1959. Early analysts thought that the ending was almost always drawn with a knight pawn, but Yuri Averbakh questioned that in the 1950s. Averbakh, working with previous analysis, published his extensive analysis in 1962 {{harvcol|Averbakh|Henkin|Chekhover|1986|pp=29–30}}. A complete analysis was not done until the advent of endgame tablebases, which showed that more positions can be won than was previously thought. Before tablebases, Averbach provided the best coverage, but the 70 pages of analysis in Comprehensive Chess Endgames mainly covered only simple positions with the pawn already on the seventh rank {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|p=148}}. John Nunn wrote three books based on the most important endgames in the five-piece endgame tablebases but omitted this endgame because "... it proved too hard to understand" {{harvcol|Nunn|1995|p=265}}. He also commented "This is the trickiest of all five-man endings, which is unfortunate as it is one of the most common to arise in practice." {{harvcol|Nunn|2010|p=299}} General considerationsAccording to Reuben Fine and Pal Benko, this ending is a draw unless the pawn is a bishop pawn or a central pawn (i.e. king pawn or queen pawn) and the pawn is in the seventh rank and is supported by its king. If the defending king can get in front of the pawn, the game is a draw; otherwise it is best for the defender to keep his king far away from the pawn. The defender should keep checking until he runs out of check, and then pin the pawn {{harvcol|Fine|Benko|2003|p=538}}. Based on computer analysis, Müller and Lamprecht give a different description. According to them, normally the defending king needs to be in front of the pawn. A rook pawn or knight pawn is a theoretical draw if the defending king is in front or near the pawn or if the king is in the corner opposite the pawn's promotion square. A knight pawn has more practical winning chances than a rook pawn. A bishop pawn or central pawn is a win if the defending king is not in front of the pawn. A bishop pawn has better winning chances than a central pawn. The position of the defending king is especially important {{harvcol|Müller|Lamprecht|2001|p=316}}. John Nunn states that analysis since Fine's initial work (published in 1941 in Basic Chess Endings) has shown that there are many more winning positions than were known at that time (ignoring the fifty-move rule in some cases) {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|pp=148–53, 248–49}}. Wins by the side with the pawn take up to 59 moves {{harvcol|Speelman|Tisdall|Wade|1993|p=7}}. A cross-check may be necessary to win. Edmar Mednis gave this breakdown when the defending king is not able to help:
John Nunn gives this summary for the defense:
Naturally, the less advanced the pawn is, the better the defensive chances {{harvcol|Nunn|2010|p=299}}. Rook pawn{{Chess diagram|tright |Nunn, 2007, p. 150 | | | | | |oo|xo|xo | | | | | | |oo|xo |oo| | | | |oo|oo|oo |pl| | | | | | | |kl| | | | | | | | |ql| | | | | | |xo|xo| | | | | | |oo|xo|qd| | | | | |Black king on white dots: win with White to move, draw with Black to move; on black dots – win with either to move; other squares – draw }} In 1985 the chess computer Belle completed the endgame tablebase for this ending. The rook pawn is the most important for actual games since it arises the most frequently, since it is the least likely pawn to have been exchanged {{harvcol|Mednis|1996|p=93}}. A rook pawn needs to be on at least the sixth rank to have decent winning chances {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|p=150}}. Mednis gave these guidelines, based on his analysis of the tablebase. Assume that White has a pawn on the h-file. To draw:
To win:
Knight pawn{{Chess diagram small|tright |Nunn, 2007, p. 151 | | | |oo|xo|xo|xo|xo | | | |oo|xo|xo|xo|xo | | | |oo|xo|xo|xo|xo | |pl| |xo|xo|xo|xo|oo | |kl| |xo|xo|oo|oo|oo | | |ql|oo| | | | |oo|xo|xo|xo|oo| | | |xo|xo|xo|qd| | | | | }} A knight pawn should be on at least the fifth rank to have good winning chances. A knight pawn on the fifth rank has better winning chances than a rook pawn on the sixth rank. There are two reasons for this:
The best place for the defending king is in front of the pawn and the second place is in the corner opposite its promotion square {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|pp=150–51}}. {{clear}}Bishop pawn{{Chess diagram small|tright |Nunn, 2007, p. 152 | | | | |oo|xo|xo|xo | | | | |oo|xo|xo|xo | | | | |xo|xo|xo|xo |oo| |pl| |xo|xo|xo|xo |oo| |kl| |xo|xo|xo|xo |xo| | |ql|xo|xo|xo|xo |xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|xo |xo|xo|xo|xo|qd|xo|xo|xo | }} A bishop pawn offers the best winning chances. One reason is that there is no drawing zone in the opposite corner for the black king if the pawn is on at least the fourth rank. If the pawn is on the fifth rank the defender's chances are small unless the king is in front of the pawn. A pawn on the sixth rank wins unless the defending king is in front of the pawn {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|pp=151–52}}. {{clear}}Central pawn{{Chess diagram small|tright |Nunn, 2007, p. 152 | | | | | | |oo|xo | | | | | |oo|oo|xo | | | | | |oo|oo|xo | | | |pl| |oo|xo|xo |oo| | |kl| |xo|xo|xo | | | | |ql|xo|xo|xo |xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|qd|xo |xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|xo|xo | }} A central pawn has better chances to win than a rook pawn or knight pawn, but not as good as a bishop pawn. As with the bishop pawn, there is no drawing zone for the defending king in the opposite corner. It is better for the defending king to be on the "short side" of the pawn rather than the "long side" {{harvcol|Nunn|2007|pp=152–53}}. {{clear}}Examples from gamesBotvinnik vs. Minev
