Dear Vas, nice to hear from you..

it's not so easy for black. If the king remains on the king side, white can get
his king on the queen side, and then limitimg the available squares with the
bishop, may prevent black from sacrificing the knight for the bishop.

The computer programs give high evaluations for white, but they don't understand
the bishops of opposite colors.

Can i generate a 6 piece table base with these material?
