Blsck tnortes. This is extremelydificult to eualuateat frst glqnce. Ilhite hasa Queenand threePawnsfor a Rook and twopieces-l3l to 120units in White'sfeaor. As (r generalrule thepieceswin if theycancoordinateandpenetrqte beforcthePav,nsgetfar enoughqduancedto do an! hqrm. Oncethe Patunsget mobilizedthe defender's piecesare nailed to the defense. So the piecesmust be madeaggressive at all cost. In the actualgameBlack got panickyin time-pressure and walked straight into a lost ending after I . . . RxP?; 2 RxR, R-KBI; 3 QxRch, BxQ; 4 RxP. In reality Black has the better of it. Correct is 1. . . R-KBI! after which White must fight for his 1ife. For instance: If 2 Q-R3, N-K5 ! 3 Q-K6ch, R-B2. If 2 Q-N4, R-85 followed by QR-K81, or N-K5. If 2 Q-N6, R-83 followed by QR-KBI with a stiong initiative. For anothergood exampleof coordinatedpiecesagainsta Queen, seeDiagram 66.
