46. Kg5 Ne6+ 47. Kh6 Nd4 48. Bd1 |
A clever ploy to restrict my Knight by sacrificing a Pawn. | ||||

Not accepting the gift by 49 - Nd4 would lose to 50.Bg4 - Nc6, 51.Bc8 - Nb4, 52.Bb7. | ||||

I resigned the game here, acknowledging the superiority of the Bishop over my Knight. However, let's continue a bit further to see the winning mechanism of White. | ||||

51... Nf1 52. Be2 Nd2 53. Bxa6 Nb3 54. Ke5 Kf8 |

56. Bd3 Kg8 57. h5 Nf3 58. h6 Kh8 |
Black hopes to create swindles based on stalemate motifs. | ||||

59. h7 Nd4 60. Be4 |
The Knight has to be restricted from accessing c6 first. | ||||
| | |||||
|
60... Ne6 61. Bb1 Nd4 |
61 - Nd8 loses to 62.b5 - Ne6, 63.Kf7 - Nc5, 64.Bc2. | ||||
| | |||||

If 62 - b5, White wins by 63.Ke7! - Nc6 , 64.Kd6 - Nb4, 65.Kc5 - Na6 , 66.Kb6! - Nb4, 67.Be4!. | ||||
