Задача 571: Венінк: Два слони проти пішака: Як виграти і не поставити пат?
In issue 571, we will analyze an extremely sophisticated study by the Dutch chess player Henry Weninck. White has the material advantage of two bishops. However, Black has a dangerous weapon: a formidable passing pawn, which his own king reliably leads to the queen. Stopping this passing pawn is difficult, but this is only half the problem. The main danger lies in the fact that during the pawn braking, the white pieces risk imprisoning the black monarch and making a fatal mistake - to draw a stalemate. We will analyze in detail how White finds a jewel balance, improves the position without a stalemate, and then implements a decisive idea that brings a clear victory!
