====Knight and pawn versus bishop==== {{Chess diagram |tright |Muller & Lamprecht, diagram 5.23 <br />(from Fine, 1941) | | | | | | | | | | |kl|pl| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |nl| | | |bd | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |kd| | |White to move wins; Black to move draws. }} This is a draw if the defending king is in front of the pawn or sufficiently near. The bishop is kept on a diagonal that the pawn must cross, and the knight cannot both block the bishop and drive the defending king away. Otherwise, the attacker can win.<ref>{{Harvcol|Fine|Benko|2003|p=209}}</ref> {{clear}}
