Opposite Exceptions (conclusion)

I THINK this series has shown just how many resources can be available for both sides in endings with opposite-coloured bishops.
It has also shown how easy it is to go wrong, especially when playing natural-looking moves.
The moral, when a pawn up, is never to concede a draw until you have tried everything - the position will almost certainly be more complicated than it appears.
After all, if, as I have pointed out many times in the series, very strong analysis engines misjudge such endings, you can be fairly sure humans will.
