The breakthrough
6/11/2010 – The following instructive bishop versus knight endgame arose in the encounter
Lu Shanglei - Ji Dan, played during the Chinese Championships 2010 in Xinghua.
With his strong central knight, White is dominating the bishop, which is tied
to the defence of the pawns on c6 and g6. White also has a 3:2-pawn majority
on the kingside, which is just waiting to be set in motion. But, despite
these weighty positional advantages it is not a simple matter to crack open
the black position. What do you think? Which continuation did Lu Shanglei
choose in order to make progress? GM Karsten Müller for ChessBase Magazine Online.
