I found a Draw! :D

Hi everyone,

Remember from silmans endgame book that rook pawn + wrong colored bishop vs king is a draw? Managed to defend a lost position by creating this situation in one of my games :) http://en.lichess.org/b10pJCAj5db7

It's sad that I guess I wouldn't, somehow, be able to do the same... =/

P.S.: Congratulations on doing so! ;-)

Hey I'm studying silmans endgame too. Very instructive book!

Hi hello there,

One of my favorite endgames ! Already learned that as a teenager. Found it fascinating that e.g. in an example 1 bishop with even 5 h pawns could not win !

I had it a few times in my own games and it always gives me great joy ! :)

(both 70 moves long...)

I also wrote an article about it on my chess blog, but the search engines only seem to have the more recent articles, so I can't find it right now.

Cheers.
