My Wall Chart for the 2023 Chess World Cup.

A study by T. B. Gorgiev (White to play and win)

That study leads onto some theory about Rook v Bishop endings with of
course RHP examples of players sending their King to the wrong corner.

Then a couple of odd Red Hot Pawn Checkmates.

I'm not rated very high. If I were to play it I'd end up a rook up in the ending. I struggle to find the win part unless a rook and bishop vs bishop is sufficient to win. Thank you for the lesson about the king. Thumbs up.
