Gaponenko,I (2403) – Schneider,Ve (2313) [B42]
Frau Bundesliga Div1 2012–13 Germany GER (1.1), 06.10.2012
This game can be studied under the following themes
- Pawn structure
- Fighting against pawns
- Endings-extra pawn conversion
Critcial Position 1
Black has a compromised pawn structure on the queenside while white’s structure remains clean. What should black’s plan be? How do you play?
Black to play
Critcial Position 2
Deep into the endgame black has an extra pawn. White however is resisting and has a passed c-pawn and a supported Nd6 deep in black’s territory. Converting the extra is not so straightforward. How should black play?
