Very true! Everybody is beatable (but how bigger the difference in strenght (rating) the less it will happen).
I won once against a 2300+ player when i was only a 1800+ player in an official game. Offcourse it only stayed by this one game. The other games i played against this same opponent i lost all horrible.
A very instructive endgame. I could be wrong, but I believe it was Capablanca who first introduced the rule of advancing with the candidate pawn first. He spends a great dea of time on it in his books.

He also speaks in detail of using one pawn to stop two in his books. Really, an amazing (and rare!) mistake by him.

It was Nimzowitsch who is known for mentioning the rule of advancing the candidate pawn first. He did so in the book “My System”.
