Of course everything you said was true, Ed; I would expect that from you. :-) My point was simply that the endgame theory of regular 8x8 chess carries over essentially unaltered to the 10x8 Gothic Chess board (with K+B+N vs K a notable exception). In the particular example we were discussing, White wins against "passive defense" if there are at least two squares on the "short side" of the Pawn, and this is true on both the 8x8 and 10x8 board.

Have you ever looked at the question of K+R+P vs K+A or K+A+P vs K+R? That appears to be an interesting question and a true test of the relative strangth of the Archbishop and Rook.
