10/21/2009 – The endgame Carlsen-Wang Yue, which was presented last week by GM Karsten
Mueller for
ChessBase Magazine
Online, one variation ended in the
diagrammed position with two knights against two pawns. This position is won
for the knights' side although, as is well known, two knights alone can't
force checkmate. Pivotal for victory is on which square a remaining pawn has
to be blocked, determining the so-called Troitzky line. Since this has led
to many requests, Karsten Mueller will explain the subject once more in
detail in the
following.
