GM Khenkin,I playing black initiated the action with the spectacular positional exchange sacrifice offer 16…Rd5!? In the endgame that followed the real adventure was in the K+P ending.

Position 1
Black has just traded down to a K+P ending. Assess the position.
  • Win for white(The queenside majority deflects black’s king so white wins the d-pawn and the game)
  • Draw
  • Win for black(Black’s king escorts the d-pawn home)
Black to Play

36.Kxc3

Position 2
Black has just played 38…h5 and it looks like the queenside majority should decide in a routine fashion. How should white proceed?
