Bg7+ then Bh6 then Kg7 and rapid loss of the g6 pawn or the bishop for black
Hi Susan thanks for posting this position. Did you play 1.g5 and 2.g6 in this position?:
1. g5 Bh5
(If 1… Bg8+ 2. Kh6 Bf7 3. g6 Kg8 (3… Bg8 4.Be7+ Kxe7 5. Kg7 Kd7 6. Kxg8+-) 4. gxf7+ Kxf7 5. Kh7 Kf8 6. Bg5 Ke8 7. Kg7
Kd7 8. Kf7 a6 9. Bf6 a5 10. Bg5 Kc7 11. Kxe6+-)
2. g6 Ke8 3. Kh6 Bxg6 4. Kxg6 Kf8
5. Bg7+ Ke7 6. Bf8+ Ke8 7. Kg7 Kd8 8. Kf6 Kc7 9. Kxe6 Kb7 10. Kf7 Ka6 11. e6 +-
“Can you help me find the win for White?”
Does this question mean you didn’t find the win in the game?
Thanks for a very nice endgame lesson, Susan. Bg7+ would be the best move, I think. The motive is to put away the black king from the perimeter of the g6 pawn, and then try to choke out both black bishop and the g6 pawn.
Anything wrong with Bd8?
I also saw what the first anonymous poster said.
1. Bg7+ Ke7 2. Bh6 Be8 3. Kg7 Kd7 4. Kf8 Kd8 5. Bg5+ Kd7 6. Bf6 1-0
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar
