  [D]8/p1p2pp1/1pP3p1/3Pb2k/4P3/5P1P/8/3K2B1 w - - 0 2

  From Queckenstadt 1914 (published in Sydsvenska Dagbladet /Swedish newspaper/)

  Here we have a bishop ending. White is a pawn down and black has two
  passers. No wonder your evals show a +score for black. But they should
  change cause white is winning this position. His pawns c6,d5,e4,f3
  resembles an arrow, and once white lets it off there is fire on the board!

  Test: White to move and win - could you do that under normal tournament
        conditions (40/2)
