00:00moves from one side of the board to another will not be able to stop this pawn let's try a5
00:09it seems black doesn't have many options it has to make sure the bishop appears on a7 g1 diagonal
00:16on time so bishop f8 looks like an only move now if we move a6 now then bishop is here and it's a
00:23draw bishop protects a7 square keeps this pawn and black king keeps this pawn
00:33but we can try to limit bishop's options by playing king d5 controlling c5 square and renewing the
00:45threat a6 a6 a7 a but black bishop goes back so what did we achieve how can we improve our position
00:54because bishop will be always trying to outmaneuver white's king by um threatening to appear on this
01:03key diagonal a7 g1 but we have one more pawn so what can we do with this pawn
01:08deflection we can do something okay sacrificing the pawn but to deflect the bishop to limit its
01:18ability to move from one diagonal to another diagonal that's very important for bishop to
01:23be able to return to f8 so what if we play g5 check now if king takes then king closes the diagonal
01:32and then after a6 our pawn will be promoted but off what if about what if what if bishop takes on g5
01:42but then our king goes back and you see now bishop cannot go cannot go cannot go back to f8 it should
01:50look for another desperate option to to appear at the diagonal goes bishop h4 and we'll go back
