Chess Endgames | Minor Piece vs. a Lone Pawn (1200-1399)

In positions where a minor piece, Bishop and Knight, faces a lone pawn, any winning chances that might exist lie with the pawn. This might seem strange, but it makes perfect sense: a lone Bishop or Knight can’t mate, but a pawn has the potential to become a Rook or Queen. In such situations, players sometimes refer to pawns of this nature as ‘’baby Queens’’ since they have one purpose in life: to reach the end of the board and become an adult!

The question, then, is very basic: can the Bishop or Knight stop the pawn from reaching its final destination? If it can, then a draw results. If it can’t, the game must be immediately resigned since a lone minor piece can’t withstand the raw power of a Queen.

Nice video.

I didn't really watch all of it, but I got the gist.

Thanks!
