Following on from Carlsen’s extraordinary win in the bishop endgame against Firouzja, I'll be looking at a study by Averbakh from 1954 which is directly related, and then one of my own endgames that had a satisfying conclusion. Black to play — what would you do?

What is a squeeze? When you take control of a game, deprive your opponent of counterplay and slowly squeeze the life out of your opponent. The motto of the squeeze could be: “To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.” from The Art of War, Sun Tzu, Chinese general, born c. 500 BC This DVD will help you to recognise when a squeeze is possible and how to execute it.
