{Next comes one example from a recent grandmaster game, which shows how
difficult the defense is:[#]} 74... e1=N+ {"Obviously forced. Black has to
promote the pawn with check in order to avoid getting mated. The ending with R
vs. N is considered by theory to be easily drawn, but I know from my own
experience that things are not that rosy in practice. After a while of moving
around with the pieces, the defending side risks losing the automatisms and
starting to fear ghosts. The further course of the game seems to sustain my
point of view." (Marin in CBM 113)} 75. Kg3 Nd3 76. Rd2 Ne1 77. Rf2+ Kg1 78.

{B) Domination Distances  There are many typical configurations, where one
piece dominates another. They are very important and can easily be remembered
due to their specific geometry. But many of them have no names. I think that
they deserve one. Johan Hellsten calls such configurations "magic distance" in
his excellent work Mastering Endgame Strategy (Everyman 2013). I like the idea
to coin a term for this important phenomenon, but I like domination distance
even more due to the double d and the more direct relationship to the
domination configurations. I even want to suggest coining more terms in that
direction:  B1) Knight check shadow  The German term Springerschachschatten
sounds even better:[#]When the king is two squares away from the knight a
typical constellation is on the board. As the knight needs at least 3 moves to
give check it sounds good to call it knight check shadow.} 84. Rf3+ $1 Kg4 (
84... Kg2 85. Rc3 Na5 86. Kd5 $18 {(Karpov in Informator 46/38)[#]  B2) Karpov
Distance  This typical domination configuration, when the knight is three
squares away from the king could be called Karpov Distance as Karpov was a

{D) Rook and Pawn vs Knight and two Pawns D1) Fortresses With close pawns the
main theme is the creating of a fortress by the defender. The main attacking
weapons are invading with king and rook, zugzwang and simplification into a
won pawn ending. So the defender should seek a stable formation with move
options and all inroads can be defended or the attacker is forced to defend
the pawn passivly. Sometimes this choice is not easy:[#]} 60. Nf4 $2 {This is
wrong as now Black's king can invade decisivly to f3.} (60. Ng5 $1 {covers the
inroads via f3 and the king's road through the centre is so long that the

many typical cases , we have decided to be relativly short here in this
subchapter.  E1) Fortresses  This is the main defensive weapon of the knight:

{With a rook's pawn it is as follows. When the bishop can control the
promotion corner square than the rook wins easily as the rook's pawn can later
even be given to reach winning position 02.02. When the bishop can't control
the corner it is much more difficult. When the rook's pawn has crossed the

{8.4 Rook and Bishop vs Rook and Knight and the bishops plays for a win  The
endgame rook and bishop against rook and knight is called Fischer endgame,
when the side with the bishop has the advantage due to the many instructive
games of the American world champion. The following guideline shall help you
too see, if the side with the bishop us better or not:  1) Rook and bishop
usually cooperate as long range piece better together than rook and knight.
Often they profit from an open position. Furthermore the rook somewhat
compensates the blindness of the bishop on the other color complex. 2) Pawns
only on one wing are often good for the slower knight. 3) Fluid pawn
structures are often good for the bishop as it can then choose the way to use
them to restrict the knight. Broken structures and weak color complexes can
help the knight to find outposts. 4) The knight always wants to have control
so that the knight has time for its slow manovers. 5) If the bishop has the
advantage it will often use zugzwang, restriction methiods and exchanges to
make progress. So often the pawns shall be placed to complement the bishop to
restrict the knight further and so that the pawns are not in the way of the
bishop. In the following famous classic Fischer give an instructive
demonstration:[#]} 24... b6 $2 {This weaknes the light squares too much.} ({
Kasparov gives} 24... Kd6 $1 25. a4 (25. Re3 Rb8) (25. Bxb7 Rb8 26. Bxa6 Rxb2)

mistake and increases the pressure on the light squares.} a5 26. Bc4 Rf8 27.
Kg2 Kd6 28. Kf3 Nd7 29. Re3 Nb8 30. Rd3+ Kc7 {[#]} 31. c3 $5 {Fischer

style is strong psychologically. Black can only sit and wait.} Nc6 35. h4 {
