opposite

The opposite-colored bishops endgame is a chess endgame in which each side has a single bishop and those bishops operate on opposite-colored squares. Without other pieces besides pawns and the kings, these endings are widely known for their tendency to result in a draw. These are the most difficult endings in which to convert a small material advantage to a win. With additional pieces, the stronger side has more chances to win, but still not as many as when bishops are on the same color.
Many players in a poor position have escaped a loss by trading down to such an endgame. These endgames are normally drawn when one side has a one-pawn advantage. Two or even three extra pawns may not suffice for a win either, since the weaker side can create a blockade on the squares on which their bishop operates.
