The theory
Many bishop endings simplify into bishop and pawn versus bishop, a draw when the pawn can be blockaded on the bishop's color.
Know the target. The defender aims for a blockade in front of the pawn, backed by the king.
Keep the color. As long as the pawn is stopped on a square the defending bishop controls, it can never break through.
In this drill you defend the single-pawn ending. Set the blockade and hold the half point.
