Wednesday’s winning puzzle
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
Good morning, Wednesday! Today’s chess study has as its setting a deceptively simple Bishop and pawn ending with equal material. Both sides have a passed a-pawn. However, it is White to play and that makes the entire difference: often the one with the move has the advantage simply because….well….it is his move! Make the most of it. White to play and win. Good luck!
