IM Berg,Emanuel 2496 - Eriksson,Anders 2335
This is a position from the 8th round of the ongoing Swedish-ch.
In this ending white has succeeded in limiting the scope of the black
bishops. This is a vital strategy here, but how to create further
chances of winning it? With 35.Ne4! white invites black to a
self-created burial of the king. Silently witnessed by the two bishops.
The salvation happens in move 48, when the black king only has the choice
between getting outgunned by a coming new queen or a swift death by the
white knight.
Test: I'm not 100% sure that this position actually is won for white,
but it might prove interesting to play it out with your program.
