A beautiful bishop ending from the National Premier
Aravindh Chithambaram and Karthikeyan Murali are leading the National Premier 2016 with one round to go. The tournament report will soon follow. In this article Sagar Shah shows you a beautiful endgame played by Aravindh. It was the eleventh round victory over GM Tejas Bakre. The richness of the variations is astonishing and I invite you to be critical about my analysis. Let us together try to reach the truth in the position.

After beating Adhiban with the black pieces, Aravindh showed another powerful performance by getting the better of Vidit Gujrathi in the twelfth round
Aravindh Chithambaram and Murali Karthikeyan are leading the tournament with 9.5/12. This is not at all a breaking news. After all Aravindh and Karthikeyan are two of the most talented youngsters in India. However, what is surprising is that they are 1.5 points ahead of the top two seeds Vidit Gujrathi and B. Adhiban. How did this happen? Well, a detailed report on this will follow soon. As of now I would like to focus on a beautiful bishop endgame that took place in the eleventh round between Aravindh Chithambaram with the white pieces and Tejas Bakre with Black.
GM Tejas Bakre was on the receiving end of some brilliant endgame play by Aravindh
Very interesting bishop and pawn ending in Aravindh vs Tejas from National Premier Championship. Lot of interesting variations

This tweet by R.B. Ramesh made me dig deeper
As always I like to test the readers before they dive into the huge sea of variations. Here I present to you some test positions which you must try to solve before checking the analysis.
Test yourself
Aravindh has sacrificed a pawn with g5!? How should Black react?
White has two options here Kg4 or f6. Which one would you choose and why?
42.b5!! was a classy move by Aravindh. Now Black has an extremely important decision to make. Will you take it with your a pawn or the c pawn?
Tejas took the bishop here with ...bxc6. Was this the correct choice? If not, then what is the best move?
Detailed Analysis
I tried my best to be as meticulous as possible with the analysis. But when analyzing such a complex endgame it is difficult to be error-free. Hence, I recommend you to share your opinion in the comments section below if you found any errors.

New feature of ChessBase 14
The analysis of Aravindh vs Tejas Endgame was very dense and complex. Sometimes following such detailed analysis is not easy. ChessBase 14 highlights the variation from the Notation that you are playing through on the board. As you can see on the right hand side the current variation is highlighted. This helps you to follow complex variations with ease.
