Anyone ever got the chance to do this?
I managed to (or was allowed to?) corner white's dark square bishop in this game (see move 29)
(I play as black so maybe do the invert board thingy)

I also recall watching a video where Garry Kasparov did it against the famous musician and chess player Sting 🙂
Here's the video:


Perhaps there is a lesson on the treatment of pawns somewhere in these games.
I've tried my best to be instructive but taketh from this what you will 🙂



The best part of this game?
It was 64 moves long 😀

If anyone else has an example where you corner a bishop, feel free to share 🙂
