Dacha Tactics #58 - Endgame finesse - yearning for light harmony.

A really cool endgame I played, which is filled with dacha treats! Color money is equal - both sides have a dark bishop and would love to get more light. Note how both kings are already on light - acting as dark builders. One could say that for now black&

Dacha Tactics #56 - a dark shocker -- a dacha special!!
