Thanks very much. Reti is one of my favourite players. I read his book when I was younger and found it very entertaining. My favourite Reti quote was his reply to the hackneyed question "How many moves do you look ahead when analysing during a game?" Reti replied "One!".

I too was impressed by this problem as a young player. Even now, even though I know the solution well, there is still a part of me that believes that there MUST be a way for black to win! It's just amazing.

yeah i commented before watching the whole video (stupid lol). That was the most beautiful move, perfect illustration of the space illusion on a chess board.
after whites first move, black should move his king from a6 to b6 and its winning.

No, also after 1...Kb6 white can hold a draw.

Would you be willing to post a few endgame vids dealing with pawn endgames with the corresponding squares idea. I am facinated by this.
