Connected center or isolated on the wing - Who wins the pawn race?
Bosnia and Herzegovina no.3 GM Denis Kadric (2542) was completely winning against UAE no.3 IM Saeed Ishaq (2309) in Round 2 of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Cup Rating. His connected center passed pawn was much stronger than his opponent's isolated passed pawn, due to having a pawn mass. However, Black had an opportunity to get back in the game. Can you find out where and how?
