The refs in the text look a bit weird; is this a special chess reference style or something?-- Starwed 08:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
The earliest endgame with opposite colored bishops where one side has one or two pawns in the chessbase database is a 1862 game between Paulsen and Anderssen. I've added it under isolated pawns, but I don't think it is worthy of a "history" section. Bubba73 (talk), 03:52, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Does anybody know of many examples of when three extra pawns aren't enough? Especially interesting is when the pawns are not tripled, entirely isolated, etc. One great example is Milan Vidmar vs Geza Maroczy, 1932. It's a fun game to watch because Vidmar, out of either irony or frustration, decides to underpromote two of his pawns into bishops.

Black does not have a losing position in this game prior to White's move 37, as is claimed in the article. In fact, White has the inferior position in all lines unless he immediately exchanges rooks, with the aftermath of said exchange being rated 0.00, or an indicated forced draw by perpetual check & repetition, according to the Stockfish10 engine. White's Bf6 courts the response Qb1+, with Black gaining the initiative, and White (not Black) now desperately hoping to avoid blundering to secure a draw. (I.e., following Qb1+, play ideally follows Kf2, Qxa2+, and the White king must pick g1 or g3, but not f1 or f3, to maintain his drawing chances.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:444:380:3A90:3C92:F78A:8FAB:21DE ( talk) 23:12, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Please let us include Spassky's incorrect joke about wife opposite colour bishop when divorcing?
Also it's wrong because if you're opposite colour then you don't collide and so you're at peace and thus remain married - but if you're same colour then you butt heads a lot and thus divorce? Thewriter006 ( talk) 17:30, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
