White wins with two pieces against one—a rare occurrence.
1. Kt - K6, B - R3; 2. B - Q4 ch, K - R2; 3. B - B3, B moves anywhere not en prise; 4. B - Kt7 and Kt mates.

White wins as follows:—
1. P - Kt5, Kt - Kt5; 2. K - B3, Kt - K6; 3. B - K6, Kt - B8; 4. B × P, Kt - Q7 ch; 5. K - Kt4, Kt × P; 6. P - Kt6, Kt - B3, ch; 7. K - Kt5, P - K5; 8. K × Kt, P - K6; 9. B - B4, K × B; 10. P - Kt7, P - K7; 11. P - Kt8 = Q ch, and wins by the simple process of a series of checks so timed that the king may approach systematically. The fine points in this instructive ending are the two bishop’s moves, 3. B - K6, and 9. B - B4, the latter move enabling White to queen the pawn with a check.

White with the inferior position saves the game as follows:—
1. P-R6, P × P; 2. K-B3 dis. ch, K moves; 3. R-R2, or Kt2 ch, K × R; 4. K-Kt2 and draw, as Black has to give up the rook, and the RP cannot be queened, the Black bishop having no power on the White diagonal. Extremely subtle.
