Yanlış Fil satranç terimi görseli

Wrong Bishop is a technical endgame theme in which a color mismatch between the bishop and the promotion square of a rook pawn can turn a win into a draw.

Key Points

  • A king trapped in the corner can set up a stalemate-like barrier.
  • If the bishop is not on the correct color, promotion may be prevented.
  • With the right plan, the defending side can save the game.
