Decided to make this a “2-fer-Tuesday”. I’ve decided to go back and refresh my basic endgame knowledge. This is from Chernev’s Practical Chess Endings, and may be familiar to some of you.

White to move and win. This is the somewhat famous Saavedra position. I’m not a huge fan of studies, but this is one of my all-time favorites. Happy New Year! - Steve.
