Every Russian Schoolboy Knows

Same Color Bishops Endings #3

With this new series, GM Yermolinsky, following the videos dedicated to the heroes of the FIDE candidates Tourney in London 2012, is back to the endgames studies. Thanks to his own practice, he shows how to maneuver in endgames where both players have Bishop of the same color. 'Yermo' has already had a series on this subject, but as he explains at the beginning of the video, there are unanswered questions:

  • should the distant passed pawn be supported by the king?
  • should your pawns ever go on the squares of the color of the bishops?
  • can you win 4 pawns against 3 on the same side of the board?

Every russian School boy should know that... calculation is the master word ! Enjoy this new videos... And learn from watching !
