A challenging problem: follow up #chess

A few days ago, I blogged about this ending, from the recent Russian Women's Championship game Gunina-Goryachkina.

White to play and win

I saw the game in Chess Today issue 4715. I thought the ending was mis-played, analysed it in my previous blog, and then wrote to Alex Baburin, edition of Chess Today. By return, Alex kindly told me that he had written about the endgame in issue 4727, which I have now read, and happily every comment of mine (that is, every move I thought was a blunder) was confirmed by Alex's analysis.

A useful exercise, and a reminder of how difficult pawn endings are.
