Holding the draw with Opposite-Colored Bishops

Dear Chess Friends,

One of my students played an OTB game in which a really instructive Opposite-Colored Bishop endgame occurred, so I made a video about it, starting with the critical position. Here is the link to that: https://www.patreon.com/posts/holding-draw-117625669?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_cjoin_link

The main topics what you can learn from this video:

  - How to block the opponent's pawns as a defender

  - What you should play for if you want to win an Opposite-Colored Bishop endgame:

      --> create a passed pawn (even if you need to sacrifice one of your pawns)

      --> support your passed pawn with your king

      --> close the opponent's king out

I hope you'll find it useful. If you like it and you want to see my private educational videos, you can subscribe to my Patreon channel. I upload 4-8 hours of videos / month and you can learn about openings, strategies, tactics and endgames, too. I also upload daily puzzles in 4 levels every day.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me.

Kind regards,

Gabor
