In many endgames, having an extra piece can mean the position is easily winning. But in Bishop endgames, you could find some exceptions.

Sometimes having an extra pawn and an extra Bishop isn’t sufficient for a win. How do you know which positions are winning and which aren’t as well as the appropriate technique to use in each scenario? ...

Usual good course, but one in which GM Gabuzyan has slowed down his delivery speed so as to enable things to be more readily understood. Also felt like there were more deliberate pauses for the student to engage with puzzles and try to solve. Enjoyed it and felt learning was easier than the rook v pawn course.
