ever, where the odds are in favor of one player, which result in a drawn game because the lone King cannot be forced from some advantageous position that he has gained.
Example. VI.—White King, Bishop and Pawn Against Black King.
The White King occupies KB4, the White Bishop K2, the White Pawn KR5 and the Black King Qsq., as indicated on diagram xx.
This Example illustrates a drawn game, White having the advantage in numbers and Black the advantage in position. Unlike most of the other illustrative End Game positions, White's hope of winning lies in his ability to keep the adverse King from getting in a corner and this is just what he succeeds in doing. The game is drawn after Black's fifth move. Black plays first. The game is notated thus:—
| white. | black. | |
| 1. | ........... | K—K2 |
| 2. | B—B4 | K—B3 |
