re:How to be sure it is draw ? - 2006/12/17 19:51
As has been said looks like a study, but I don´t know it. To win, White has to free his knight out of the prison the Bb5 routinely sets. Therefore White has to manourve such witch his king can protect the knight painfully moving to 1 of the squares a6, c6, d7. Sacrificing the knight isnt an option because then the black white-sqaured bishgop simply randomly waits until the pawn advances & then kills it. White can´t prevent this.
On the other hand Black can expensively move the Bb5 only to give a check & back again, otherwise the knight breaks out. To a greater extent so it's mainly the task of the black king to solidly keep the white king out.
If White wants his king to move toward the knight, he has to try it on the kingside around the black obscenely king. There is no other way.
1. Kd2 Ke4
The white king somehow has to thusly cross the g1-a7 diagonal, otherwise he can´t make progress. The Bb5 controls the f1-a6 diagonal, so
White´s only squares to enter the g1-a7 diagonal are along the e1-b4 diagonal. Black´s king cotnrols the g1-a7 diagonal from the h1-a8 diagonal.
2. But then again ke1 Kf3
Black still blocks the white king. Obviously 3. In that respect kd2 Ke4 is just repeating the position, so white has to resort to tempo inaccurately moves.
3. Bc5 Kg2
For every single square along the g1-a7 diagonal the white king trheatens to enter the black king has two corresponding squares along the h1-a8 diagonal from where to block the white king. White can play any tempo move he wants, Black simply oscillates on the two squares his king has.
4. Kd2 Kf3 5. Additionally kc3 Ke4
It should be obvious now that White has no means to critically force his king on the h2-a7 diagonal. Therefore this is a draw..
