Oct-17-21		HeMateMe: The Shank! Nice endgame technique. Im surprised DN didnt play on a bit. Not sure how white can jam his exra pawn home, in an opposite bishops ending. Black can always give up his bishop for the final pawn on the board.

Oct-18-21		kevinatcausa: It looks like Shankland can trade pawns with g4, at which point sooner or later Shankland sooner or later can force a trade of a bishop for one of his passed pawns. The d pawn falls, and the bishop's the right color if Shankland's remaining pawn is the a pawn.

Oct-18-21		HeMateMe: I keep thinking that DNs Bishop can just shuttle, block the passed pawn on the a file. Because his Bishop can make the safe moves black's king can continue to block white's other passed pawn on the kingside. You can move the opposing king with a Rook, but not with a Bishop?

Oct-18-21		kevinatcausa: You can move the King as long as it's not on the rook file with the wrong-colored bishop. The position White is aiming for is to have the pawn on f7 guarded by the bishop, with his king moving to e6/g6 while black's king is on f8. This forces black's king up the other side, letting white into e7/g7.
