I can see the win in elisjohn's position now.

That is the correct starting technique. You first of all have to cut the opposing king off from your pawn. It's still tricky to win though unless you know the correct method. What if black just keeps checking with his rook on the second rank? How do you deal with it?
I need to think about that! I got his king over to f file first time which helped but struggling to repeat that |

Are you still going on the earlier position? |

yes

|
By:
Yes, have you found something?

By:
I'm pretty sure I can see the win now.

If you had a minute left on the clock I wouldn't have been confident but probably would have got there eventually. Or maybe lost on time. I think there are a few nuances in the position.

Yes, Black is hopelessly tied up. Once white gets his king to d6 and rook to e2 there is no defence.
|
|
By:
I wouldn't win it in a minute!
|
|
By:
How do you do that though?
|
|
By:
I tried a few times to follow chess books. And I find the notation is overly complex. Bxf5!, Nxf3! In club games I gave up on it. Two knights sometimes can tmake same piece. Why no simply write a2-a4. C8-d7. That way what occupies one square goes to another. No possible mix ups.

Once King goes to d6 you check on f6.

No pp, when king goes to e6 black doesn't check he goes Rf3.

I think we need to get the move order correct here.

I should have put that in English but you'll understand.

Tell you what, set up the original position. I will go white so my first move is Kf4.

Are you confident of the pawn ending?
|

By:
Yes is the answer.

yes. My king can get in front of the f pawn if you chop off at c7
