This endgame was played by “Capa” when he was a 12 year old kid. Now we know that children can become strong players at young age using all this modern training material and computer databases. But imagine its the year 1901 and a small Cuban boy manages to beat the national champion in a match. That is extraordinary. Have a look at this nice demonstration of endgame technique.

Got your link from Chess World. You did a real good job! I will be teaching at a chess camp for kids this week and I would like to use this ending to teach the power of the Bishop over the Knight in this type of ending. The fact that Capa was only 12 will make it even better for the kids to see.
