Some positions we analyze in the video
Summing up
- When this endgame is correctly defended, it should be a draw.
- The way to defend is, avoid the corners, but when you are forced, go to the opposite-colored to the Bishop corner.
- If the strong side can trap the enemy King in the wrong corner, then it should be winning, and the way to win is by creating double threats of Bishop and check in the Backrank.
Good luck to everybody, and take care!!!
