Outside Passed Pawn: chess endgame

A passed pawn far from the kings: bait that wins games

Outside passed pawn drags the enemy king away. While they chase, your king eats every pawn left behind.

• Outside means farther from the enemy king than the other pawns.
• Enemy king has to chase it, leaving the other wing undefended.
• Your king walks in and eats the abandoned pawns.
• With an outside passer, trade into the ending. Usually wins.
