Tuesday’s 5-second tactic!
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS

From the SportAccord rapid-games in Beijing. The presence of opposite colour Bishops allows for some pretty significant drawing chances in such endings. Here, should White move his King directly over to the Queenside (to advance his a-pawn), he might win the Black Bishop, but not the game.
Curiously, the winning method here is trivial, but calls for the White King to stay close to the centre!
WHITE TO PLAY AND WIN!
