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

Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful.

My endgame technique is horrible so everything I can find helps

Oh, I see. I'm planning on uploading a full endgame course to my Patreon channel (www.patreon.com/Bgabor91), I've already uploaded some videos to the endgame session, too, so if you wanna improve your endgame skills, I can recommend you to subscribe to my channel. And of course, you can find other videos connected to openings, strategies and calculation tranings as well.

Ok, thanks!

tbh im not even sure what is worse for me, my endgame techniques or my middlegame techniques or even the start techniques since im not that good at chess

Focus on improving all of them step by step. That's what my training program is based on.
