This game between Howard Staunton and Elijah Williams is very illustrative of the importance of the different kind of oppositions in chess. As you will see Staunton has lost the game, but you have to know that the virtual opposition was something nobody was aware of in 1851. Without these kind of guidelines it is very difficult to play this kind of endgame the right way.

I use this game as an example of the possibilities to publish Chess games on a blog site. This time I have used Chess Publisher.

The main drawbacks are the lack of clickable moves and the fact that It is impossible to add the winning variations. Compare this post with the Staunton - Williams post on Chess Teaching.
