Andersson 2625 - Gisbrecht 2405, Bundesliga 1999
Yup, a little endgame with bishops of the same colours. White has a great
square for the king on e5, so every try to push the pawn to this square
is no good, of course. Classical one where black has his pawns on the "wrong"
squares. White wins but the real class is getting here in the first place...
Test: White to move and wins.
