Bishops of opposite colours

Sort:
rooperi

Drawing with three pawns down. Was there a win for Black?

Usually bishops of opposite color in the end game screams "draw"

Even if you are up 3 pawns, if the person can do a blockade (like in the game), you will never be able to advance those pawns.

69...d2+ would have won:

Thats still a draw as blacks extra bishop isn't the same color as the promotion square of the pawn.

No, it a win for black:

TwoMove

41... Kf5 instead of 41...Kh4 probably would have won, aiming for d3. Then can create connected pawns with c5, and d4 to break blockade.
