My latest Minor Piece tells the inspirational story of Hans Cohn, a blind Jewish boy from Berlin who fled the Nazis to study at Worcester College for the Blind. He played chess at a high level for decades, representing Willesden in the London League. I was privileged to play him in a Richmond 2 v Willesden match in 1976.

Here’s a pawn ending from one of his games: Vaccani – Cohn (3rd IBCA Blind World Championship 1975).

From this position the game continued 42. h4 h6 43. g5 h5 44. Ke5 Ke7 and a draw was agreed a few moves later.

Your thoughts, please.
