b5 is a must to keep the position closed: 1. prevents white's rooks to activate, stop potential counterplay on open lines b and d files! 2. the knight vs bishop imbalance demands less open position

Thank you, you are on the right track!

Homework spoiler - no engine - by the way it is a very good advanced problem of a typical endgame - easy to mis-calculate intermediate moves black has a material advantage and active pieces, black can win with correct play After bxc5 calculate both bxc4 and dxc5 1) bxc5 bxc5 d6 Rb7 Re7 cxd6 cxd6 Rxe7 Rxe7 d5 white can move both rook and then bishop guarding against Nf1+ fork Also bxc5 bxc5 c6 Rb7 Re7 d5 cxd5 Rxd5 and black falls apart or threaten dxc6 2) bxc5 dxc5 white threatens d7 pawn d6 Rd4 g5 cxd6 cxd6 b5 white gains a passed protected pawn. This is the much stronger line Therefore, bxc5 allows too much activity to both of white's rooks. Ignoring bxc5 and continuing to attack white's pawns and rooks are better options. black should not give white time to attack the c7 pawn

Thanks!

Nice focused lesson. 🎉

That is wonderful to hear, thanks! You will see several beautiful mistakes in that course! ☺️

I know capturing in the final position is wrong. White will play dxc5, threatening Rxd7 and b5 to create a passed pawn. Black will not be able to stop both threats. Looking to alternatives, b5 is one idea. It basically commits to each player having a pawn fort. However, if black does not play b5, and should white play cxb6 at some point, after black plays cxb6, I think the pawns could lock up in a more double-edged position for both sides. Imagine both players having two isolated pawns on the same rank-fun for rooks and also interesting when white’s bishop gets involved. I think, though, that Re2 is the most practical move. Black is ahead two pawns, so trading pieces is usually best.

Excellent lesson. A really tough homework! I wouldn't want to open lines for White's rooks, so I am not keen to take but b5 might be OK? Also ..Re2 might be an improvement for the rook but not sure what happens then! Thanks!

Excellent answer! ...Re2 is the best! What happens if you take on c5? Can White change the pawn structure and achieve a dangerous passed pawn then?

Thanks Can for a good presentation. I have made all the pawn errors you mention. I have also caught my opponents making all those errors. Regarding your final test: I have to keep the pawn structure closed. Otherwise, I awaken your rooks. I would go with b5. If the opportunity is still there, I would then go with Re2. Rook trades would then be forced. In the end I am up a pawn in an end game.

Thank you Dan! Did you also make those mistakes while watching this video or did you mean you made those errors before? Yes, ...Re2 is the correct move!

The general rule when you have such an advantage is to exchange pieces, but not pawns. However, here you have BvN, so you have to be careful of the long range of the Bishop. Taking the pawn looks dangerous because after dxc5 you have both opened up the d-file (threat Rxd7) and created a potential outside passed pawn (b5-b6). The main question is whether you should prevent exchange with b5 or play something else with the tempo, like Re2. I like the latter, as it threatens Nf1+ and if White exchanges the N ends up on e2 threatening the pawn d4, gaining a vital tempo.

I agree. Trade off the rooks and the Knight and extra pawns should win!

Absolutely!

I say simplify: Re2. However, if this is only about the pawns, then let’s lock up the queen side with c5.

Simplification is the correct idea! And not touching the pawn on the queenside is also correct!

Nice idea!

I think bxc5 is not a good move, after dxc5 suddenly white has pressure on d7 and will create a passed pawn on the b file. Blacks knight is far away therefore blacks rook will have to go to b8 and remain very passive there to prevent the pawn from promoting. b5 seems like the best move to me, fixing the pawns in place thereby preventing counterplay from white
