Mediojuego o final, esa es la cuestión

por Karsten Müller
14/03/2023 – Las posiciones con Dama y pieza vs. Dama y pieza tienen elementos tanto de mediojuego como de final. En nuestro ejemplo, el aspecto de mediojuego, que el rey esté a salvo, habla a favor de las piezas blancas. Por otra parte está el aspecto de final de partida, que el bando negro dispone de unos peligrosos peones pasados. Juegan las negras y empatan. Problema de finales por GM Karsten Müller.
