Of course simple isn't always simple, especially when you've reached the end of a hard fought game, but you still have to make sure of the win. It is usually about then you begin to hallucinate, wondering whether the position you've reached is a win or some totally unfair draw that you've blundered into. But if you reach the diagrammed position, be assured that it is a win, assuming you start with the only correct move!
