## Mastering Opposite Colour Bishops Endgame

Bibisara won again and she reamains takin distance but this game between the 2 chinese players was my favourite of the day, showing the danger of the scoth and the danger of the opposite colour bishops with rooks over the board.

I going to analyze the last 2 rounds inmediately when they finish here and in my [Youtube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@FM_BuendiaChess) so follow me to see how ends the tournament, bye bye.
