Opposite Colored Bishops (It was winning!) | Training Game

- A 30’ + 5’’ training game against a 2100 rated opponent on lichess. We played the Quiet Variation of the Slav Defense.
Neither the opening nor the middlegame were too exciting, but the endgame was. It was also very instructive. It was opposite colored bishops with a pair of rooks still on the board.
It seemed like neither side could really do much, but then I found a way to set my pieces on perfect squares and win the h pawn! I was a pawn up when I managed to follow through with the plan, but in compensation he pushed his pawn to d6, thus forcing my bishop to remain on the defensive for the rest of the game, keeping the pawn blocked.
I blocked out all the entry points for his rook, and my position was as safe as possible. This meant that I could start an attacking plan. I pushed my kingside majority and managed to create a road for my king to enter the position. Unfortunately, he managed to force a trade of rooks which meant that my pawn was almost immovable despite it being an extra pawn.
He soon offered me a draw, and I ended up accepting. It was opposite colored bishops and my bishops couldn’t move, so I figure I made the right decision. But...

Yeah it is usually very sharp middle game when there are opposite colored bishops but a drawish endgame
You are awesome ❤️❤️
Hi, you say it was a boring game but I did not think so. It seemed right to me how you got a winning position from a small advantage. A pity you have not seen the king's winning gait, maybe you were distracted by your connection. In your analysis, apparently in movement 14 there was an imprecision, right?
Taking back on e4 in these positions doesnt give much unless u have something concrete,mainly it just kills the bishop
remember to play over the board
h3!, gxh3, ; ...Kxh3, Kh1; ...Kh4 (giving black a chance to blunder by moving his king-if Bishop moves, then Kg4) Kg1; Kg4, (again if Bishop moves, Kf3! Lets say all black does is maneuver his bishop to d4-where he can repeat for a draw chance-you can then safely sacrifice the g-pawn to maneuver your king to the queen side. Like you said, Black can’t defend the pawns with the bishop and his king is too slow getting to your f-pawn.
