End game : White to move and draw

End game : White to move and draw Sometimes, the first move that human brain doesn't accept is the solution !!

End game Puzzle : Bishop and Pawn

White to move and win Remember, if black's king reaches h8 square, then it is a draw, nothing can pull black's king out of the corner. I am not giving the solution here, leaving it for the reader to solve it. This puzzle teaches you to create a blockage using pawn and Bishop.

End game : White to move and win

It is white to move... Black's Bishop prevents the pawn from promoting.. White's strategy is to bring the bishop to b8, somehow, but black prevents that by Kb5-a6 and reaches a6 well in time...
