Pawn Endgames Study

I've created a new study on Pawn Endgames! So far there's 15 chapters covering important concepts such as Key squares, separated pawns, ability for separated pawns to force promotion, rook pawn tactics and rules etc.

Hope you enjoy and feedback is always appreciated. If you learnt something from the study please give it a thumbs up.

Thanks!
In the chapter titled, "Separated passed pawns - one file" you wrote, "White can play Kf7 for strongest defense here as Ke5 and Kg5 both allow the pawns to advance 1 rank". However, it is the black king that can move Kf7, not the white king. Therefore, it should read as follows: "Black can play Kf7 for strongest defense here as Ke5 and Kg5 both allow the pawns to advance 1 rank".
The thing I can not understand is why there is no possibility of computer analysis in the studies? Of course, it is nice to read a comments of real persons, but talking about precision, the computer still has much more authority for me.
@Alex_1987 - Computer analysis is an interesting and valuable feature to use in openings and middle game analysis, however, in the endgame, especially rook endgames, the computer sometimes has no conclusive result: for example in a drawn position, or even a won position (such as Lucena) the computer may display +1 until it discovers the winning or drawing strategy. This result can be misleading. Should an endgame table base which could be turned on for specific positions be available for studies, those would certainly be turned on.

On top of that, many of the positions are intended for the viewer to analyse and solve them self before proceeding.
