Can you win this endgame position as White? 

The position is a known draw IF Black can capture the pawn, OR get his King to any of the four squares of g7, g8, h7, and h8. White's goal is to stop Black from achieving either, and that may require coordination from White's Bishop, pawn, and possibly the King. Only one first move works. 1.Bd7 No other move wins. Any king move is met by Kg1, and the pawn is history. If 1.Bg2 (or 1.Bf1), Black moves 1...Ke3, followed by f4, e5 (if necessary), and a beeline for h8. On any of 1.Bg4, Bf5, or Be6, Black will be able to pick up a tempo by attacking the Bishop , aiding the King's path to h8. For example: 1.Be6 Ke3 2.h4 Ke4 (and not Kf4 3. Kd4, and Black is locked out and must move away from the White pawn's queening path) 3.h5 Ke5, and Black reaches h8 safely. Also, 1.Bc8 doesn't allow White the ability to block out Black's King later, as the Bishop can no longer control the h5 to e8 diagonal. 1....Ke3 Black needs to stay in the "square" of the White pawn's queening path. This move also gains the opposition. 2.h4 Otherwise, Black simply goes to f4, followed by the eventual e5, f6, g7, and h8. 2.... Ke4 The immediate Kf4 is met by Kd4, gaining the opposition and forcing Black out of the pawn's queening path ("square'). Other moves simply allow White pawn to head for h8. 3. h5 Otherwise, Black proceeds to e5, f6, g7, and h8 as above. 3...Ke5 Forced if Black is to stay in the queening path/square. 4. h6 Transposing this with the subsequent Be8 also works. 4....Kf6 Forced in order to stay in the pawn's queening path/square. 5.Be8 Putting Black in Zugzwang. Black must move the King out of range of the pawn and allow it to Queen.

Nice study. I liked following your thinking.

U stuck yourself on the edge restricting the B,for no reason 😅

That's a really nice study! Your explanation was a little bit rushed, but clear enough to follow. I thought Bf1 was the solution but your analysis shows that's wrong.

At 14:46 how is it an "elementary" Checkmate? The King can move to any of 3 squares - d7 e7 or f7 and be out of check. Please explain your statement here. Thanks.

Lovely.

It would be helpful if you state who is able to move first, that makes a huge difference.

Enjoyed that. Maybe never withdraw a piece more than is necessary or less than is necessary. The full withdrawal of the Bishop lessened it's power for no reason.

I believe this is composed by Alexey Alexejevitsch Troizki (Алексе́й Алексе́евич Тро́ицкий; March 14, 1866 - August 1942). But I am not completely sure. It is hard to know all studies with the name of the composer. Although this famous endgame study I know, when I was 12 years old, now I am 57 years old. The chess composer has the right, if you publish on RU-vid, that you add the name of the composer of this study. Even then the study composer is already passed away!

Bishop g2 After h4 ,5, 6, 7, 8=Queen...

L170 I enjoyed your video.

very simple...pls give a harder one...

Before we start, won't Bf1 win? Black can't threaten the pawn and all we need to do is to go for g8 with our king

B c8

Good video, could have been shorter.

Bg2 and win

In a game you wouldn't be able to calculate all the variations.

after bf1 kf3 be2 comes kg2 and draw

A good player on blacks side would simply ignore the bishop and chase the pawn no matter what move is played because they understand that's the only way for white to win. In that scenario this game only ends in a stalemate. Am I wrong?
