Ämne: Re: Chancellor and Pawn ending
I thought the Chancellor ending was important since it is the first real life example of such an ending. Even the famous Rook and Pawn Lucena Position had a predecessor referenced in that book from over 500 years ago!

The Chancellor and Pawn ending we were in has no such predecessor -- it is the first such ending, ever.

You are correct in that 38...d5 was a transition of sorts in the game. In fact, you could argue black was losing the whole game by making non-developing opening moves, at one point in time with only two minors developed while all of white's forces were in play with the option to castle to either side.

After 38...d5 white did have the opportunity to equalize, but the pawn push b3 on move 44 is where I consider the position definitively lost.

black to move and win

I think Black was forced to take the bishop, allowing the chancellor check and then the recovery of it, leading to an equal position with white to move and deliver check.
