Just a simple comment on the last endgame with the pawns:
It is hardly a difficult endgame. A player of 1300 Elo would spot after 1
or 2 minutes that by playing the king to e7 and sacrificing the rook on
the bishop, wins instantly.
For anyone that is curious there is mate from the initial position in 17
moves (this is how easy it is).
