Theory/Centurini: Deflect, Then Interfere

Centurini: Deflect, Then Interfere

Your pawn has to get past d7, and Black's bishop guards that square from two diagonals. The method has two steps: drive the bishop off one diagonal with your own bishop, protected by your king, then block the other diagonal on a square your king protects. With the move, White wins.
