Pawns In The Bishop Endgames Are there any general guidelines to choose the square colour for your own pawns in bishop endgames? 

Especially in knight vs bishop endgames, would you put your pawns on same coloured squares as the opponent's bishop?
In general, the pawns should be on the opposite colour of the bishop, especially if this forces the opponent's pawns onto the same colour as the bishop.

This prevents the bishop from being bad (locked in by it's own pawns) and gives the bishop targets.

In my answer to When and why should I trade minor pieces?, I gave this sample position of a bishop dominating the knight:

[FEN "8/8/1k3b2/1p3p1p/pPp2P2/P1P3P1/8/1N2K3 w - - 0 1"]
[Site ""]
[White "Onoprienko"]
[Black "Khasangatin"]
