QP-Q-ending with a rook or knight pawn, the weaker side has drawing chances by
moving his king to the corner which is most remote from the pawn's promotion
square. As we explain in an article to be published in Schakend Nederland,
against a bishop or (like here) a centre pawn this strategy does not work, and
the weaker side's most important drawing chance is putting his king in front
of the pawn. That is the reason why 82 Kb1 was a blunder and why here 84 Kc2 
(84 Kc1?! Qf4+) would be more stubborn, after which Black can win only by very
careful play, gradually pushing White's king away from the d-file. An example:}

process of pushing his pawn, but can exchange queens by force as indicated
below. Long combinations leading up to the exchange of queens are a quite
frequent phenomenon in Qp-Q-endings. The longest combination of this sort (As
far as we know) occurs in the position Ke4, Qa8, Pa3 vs. Kg2, Qe1, whre
strategically spoken Black's king is optimally placed (in the corner around h1)

experimenting with placement of the knight on d7 have been Topalov and his
Bulgarian analytical team.} 8. g4 h6 9. f4 g5 $5 {The internal logic of the
chess struggle will sometimes hint at correct solutions to problems somewhat

do it as a form of positional sacrifice.} 10. f5 {It makes little sense to
hold White responsible for his alibistic approach. Ponomariov was well aware
of the fact, that Topalov would not have played the line without thorough
preparation. Objectively speaking the only move able to aspire for any real
