00:00Bishop is here and it's a draw. Bishop protects a7 square, keeps this pawn and
00:06black king keeps this pawn. But we can try to limit bishop's options by
00:18playing king d5, controlling c5 square and renewing the threat a6, a6, a7, a8.
00:26But black bishop goes back. So what did we achieve? How can we improve our position?
00:32Because bishop will be always trying to outmaneuver white's king by threatening to
00:39appear on this key diagonal, a7, g1. But we have one more pawn. So what can we do with
00:46this pawn? Deflection. We can do something, okay, sacrificing the pawn, but to deflect
00:53the bishop, to limit its ability to move from one diagonal to another diagonal.
01:00That's very important for bishop to be able to return to f8. So what if we play g5 check?
01:05Now, if king takes, then king closes the diagonal. And then after a6, our pawn will be
01:13promoted. But what if bishop takes on g5? But then our king goes back.
01:21And you see now bishop cannot go back to f8. It should look for another desperate option
01:31to appear at the diagonal. It goes bishop h4. And we'll go back. Enjoy this position.
01:40It's just one king that cuts this bishop, which is much more mobile in theory. But because of
01:48this configuration, because black king is standing on the way, bishop is cut from diagonal.
01:53And when I play my simultaneous exhibitions, I reach not this position, but the position
01:59when...
