The theory
Bishop and pawn versus bishop on the same color is a draw whenever the defender can blockade the pawn on his bishop's color.
The key square. Identify the square in front of the pawn that your bishop controls and occupy it.
Two defenders. Support the bishop with the king so the attacker cannot chase it away or deflect it.
In this drill you defend a single-pawn ending. Build the blockade and refuse to let the pawn advance.
