This Week's ChessVideos Show: Bishop vs. Knight, part 3
Our series on bishop vs. knight endings concludes (at least for now) with a pro-bishop example. Taken from a 4.Qc2 Nimzo-Indian game of mine from the late 90s, it can be divided into two unequal halves. The first part of the game offered a good demonstration of how to exploit the advantage of the bishop pair, while the second part is more useful in a negative way, displaying a number of pitfalls one can fall victim to in the realization of an advantage. Both parts are very instructive in their different ways - have a look!
