Mr. Winkelman rives the following position as an exception to the general rule that Bishop and pawn cannot win where the pawn is a Rook pawn and the Bishop does not command the square on which It Queens.

The general rule is that the Queen win except In cases where the opposing pawn la a Bishop or Rook pawn and has reached (he seventh rank and is supported by the King. Nevertheless, this ending has by no means been analysed to exhaustion and there are many interesting and critical positions. Black a U4 ai Whlta 1. Q-B5 2. Q-K4 3. Q-B4 4. Q-K3 5. Q-B3 4- 6. K-Q4 7.

Tha win Is obta.lr.rd thus: 1. K-B5 . K-B7; 2. Q-NS , K-Nfi; 3. Q-Bl. K-N7; 4. Q-K2-K K-N6: 5. Q-Q1 , K-N7, 6. Q-Q2 , K-N8 (bent;) T. K-N4. P-R8 Qt 8. K-N3 and wins. The allowing of Black to Queen followed by a typical quiet move are the points In the combination rather hard for an amateur to sea for himself.
Our next Is a Queen against Rook ending. The main thing to remember about this class la that (he Rook must be driven away from the King and If the student works with this fixed aim, not much book knowledge la necessary. Black White to play and win. 1. B-Q2 (so as to play P-R3 If K-R4 and transfer tha P from the Rook file to Kt file.) K-N2 (or A:) 2. K-Q6. K-N3; 3.
