Fernhout, 1947
Bishop ending, same colors, 4 vs 3 pawns - but the white pawns look
real loose. The black passer on e3 is a killer and white's king is
doing nothing at the moment. How do you treat such a killer pawn?
Test: White to move and win. No compromises please. Just go for it!
The solution ferner down. ;)
