Hi, just a hypotetic question: Let's think that the bishop side has several bishops, all of the same colour. The question is now: when not any of the bishops alone can stop the pawn is it possible to create a position where they all together can stop it anyway ? Or is it sufficent to say that it is a win when the lone pawn was checked in the TBs against each bishop and both checks say that it is won ? I hope you understand what I mean -> I can not really explain it to myself... :) a possible example: [D] 3K2b1/7P/8/8/8/8/b2k4/8 w - - 0 1 without the bishop on b2 this would be of course won and TBs give back a win when we check the pawn against both bishops... and of course according to five man this position is also won... the question is if it is possible to create a position with the above mentioned circomstances which is draw ?! Greets, Thomas P.S.: You see, I am working on Quarks endgame... :)
