For me, this would be a draw by insufficient intelligence.

Its all fun and games untill you actually encounter a knight and bishop endgame
I encounter b+n endgame twice and could not deliver checkmate couse I was to lazy to watch carefully tutorial like this.
Lol
I give away my pieces to force it sometimes
If that happens then I will just agree to a draw, or try to flag
I had it one time in blitz (1700-1900) in over 5000 games and only had 30 seconds left on my clock with no increment, I failed to deliver checkmate.

Why
I think he put these time stamps to use them in future for edits. Am I right?
I think you’d agree that “easy” is subjective after watching me fumble around an endgame.
Easy is definitely a relative term when we are talking about mating with Bishop and Knight, but after some practise it gets easier.
"Easy" is the complete opposite of the difficulty of this mate. It is in fact the MOST difficult of ALL mates, taking weeks of daily practice to master it. I still go back to practice/refresh every month. Try for yourself if you believe it's "easy": lichess.org/practice/checkmates/knight--bishop-mate/ByhlXnmM/HDj6qwSe
@@PushyPawn Completely agree.
@Ayan Sharma I think that is possible only in some positions,no?
@@thinboxdictator6720 You are correct.
It's only possible if the extra pawn is beyond a certain square and that square depends on which file it's on, and all this depends if there's only 1 pawn, if more than 1 exist then more requirements need to met to decide if the position is a win or a draw.
It can get really complicated.

I already see myself stalemating my opponent after like 1h of pushing him into the corner.

Someone in the comments asked a good question, so I'm just gonna copy my answer here:
In the position at 6:29 1...Kd8 is a more resilient defense than 1...Kf8.
So if Black goes 1...Kd8 you follow him 2. Ke6 Kc7, and now 3. Nd7. Notice how even though it seems like the black King is escaping, in reality he can't really go far. So black will go either 3...Kb7 or 3...Kc6, and the important move to remember here in both cases is 4. Bd3! By taking this diagonal, you cut the black king's escape route. I'm going to cut these two lines into two parts, because they are very similar, but it might get confusing to follow two lines simultaneously. So...
3...Kb7 4. Bd3 Kc6 5. Bf1 (or anywhere on the f1-a6 diagonal except of course b5) 5...Kc7 6. Bb5. And now you see the black king is forced back into the back rank. (If he goes 6... Kb7 you follow 7. Kd6 and once again he has to go to the back rank) Now after say 6...Kd8 you go 7. Kd6 Ke8 8. Bc4 Kd8 9. Bf7 and from here it's pretty straight forward. 9...Kc8 10. Nc5 Kd8 (notice how 10...Kb8 does not help black, he can't escape that way anymore) 11. Nb7+ Kc8 12. Kc6 Kb8 13.Kb6 Kc8 14. Be6+ Kb8 15. Bf5 Ka8 16. Nc5 Kb8 17. Na6+ Ka8 18. Be4#
3...Kc6 4. Bd3 Kc7 5. Bb5 (you may notice, it's the same pattern, it's just one move faster) 5...Kd8 6. Kd6 etc. it's the same position as before, so see above how it goes. I will however take the time here to show exactly what happens if 5...Kb7?! is played instead. So 5...Kb7 6. Kd6 Kc8 7. Nc5 Kd8 8. Nb7+ Kc8 9. Kc6 Kb8 10. Be2 Kc8 11. Bg4+ Kb8 12 Kb6 Ka8 13. Nc5 Kb8 14. Na6+ Ka8 15. Bf3#.
There are a few moves in these sequences where a tablebase would give you improvements as checkmate *could* be achieved 1 or 2 moves faster, but I tried to keep this method as systematic as possible to make it easy to follow and remember.
Scrolled down hoping this was addressed, ty!
I just tried to beat stockfish with B+N and he played Kd8, thank you a lot

ua-cam.com/video/kHd0PMpcTmQ/v-deo.html
Yes, exactly. It is a good video, but this line (the one after Kd8) is really the crucial one and should be included. When I learned this method many years ago, I found this the most difficult part to remember and when I explained it to other players I found that almost everyone - even the very good ones - were struggling at this point, thinking they must have done something wrong beforehand. It might also be worth mentioning, that a mistake during the first phase (driving the king to the edge) is usually not very dramatic, you will lose two or three moves, whereas the consequences of a mistake later on might be more serious (with respect to the 50-move-rule, I mean).
And it was in this position that red promoted to green.
Agad: we can checkmate in 33 moves.
Me: misses mate in one, 33 times in a game 😐
Teach*
omg 33 likes
Thats Dark.
Muhammad nah. The only reason you shouldn’t play chess is if you don’t enjoy it. That’s it. There’s no base ability required to play.
Good enough to get 33 mate in one in a single game but you can't find a single one🤣🤣🤣
When Agadmator loses Bishop and Knight in Endgame : Sorry about that.
4:00
"We will build a wall, a great wall, and we will make the black king pay for it (by checkmating him)."
said the orange guy
It crazy how the bishop and knight make a perfect wall, my mind is blown.
I didnt know about that until this video, thats one of the reasons I'm 1250, can't wait to make it to an endgame lol!
It isn’t an agadmator video without him saying: “Oh sorry about that.”

*No audible sound improvement*

Yeah hahahahahahaha
Lol, yeah
Best comment!
That is well said sir!!

Now that u have made this, I think it's only fair that u do the Two bishops checkmate.
Agreed! I'm really enjoying these instructional lessons
That u can watch in chess network
@@vamsibharadwajece7543 EEEEEEEua-cam.com/video/-u0Lx1TcXa4/v-deo.html

Two bishops checkmate is the same principle as two rooks.
Agag you really helped me with this , you have something rare that explains casually yet precisely. Pls continue with this style
This is exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much Antonio! The timing couldn't be better! Love you 3000!🤩🤩🤩
Black King: Not a single check, how will you mate me brothers
White King: First check will directly be Mate brother, we are first shifting you to your home
6:34
*tomb
still at that stage in chess where my opponents and myself inself included, we resign when we're down a whole rook and a knight
Anyone would and should resign in that situation unless you're playing against a complete beginner (or have a chance to flag your opponent).

@@alainduncan3756 If you're playing against a 'complete beginner,' I would hope that you were playing with a handicap because if you were down a Rook and a Knight against a complete beginner, I really do not fancy your chances of coming back from being that far behind if you have blundered that many points unless they were deliberate sacrifices to gain position.
Thank you so much Agadmator for finally teaching this... I was waiting for this video for a long time.
*Bold of you to assume that I can remember all of these* 😂
the video is clearly meant for people who actually play chess, and for people who play chess well, which implies people who at least study chess
I learned this mating process a week ago, not that hard.
@@user-jh3kz7dp2z yeah I'm 1600 player, just kidding man 😉
@@aniruddhsinhjadav4045 LoLua-cam.com/video/-u0Lx1TcXa4/v-deo.html
you don't need to remember sequence of moves.
you just need to understand how to cooperate your pieces.
try it yourself and try to visualize "wall" that you are making
rest is just pushing his king with your king until he is at the edge of the board.
so
1) push him to edge
2) push him to corner with same color as your bishop
3) checkmate in several moves
#suggestion: dear Agadmator, I am reading Nimzowitsch' "My System" and the author of the introduction mentions an epic game of an epic tournament, the 1912 San Sebastian tournament. The game, non other than: Akiba Rubinstein vs Aron Nimzowitsch of the last round, with Rubinstein half a point behind Nimzowitsch. Rubinstein was able to win the game and therefore the tournament. Nimzowitsch himself considered that game his worst defeat ever! It would be great if you could cover such an epic game, it's been a while since you covered classic games of the past outside the context of a saga, so it would be refreshing if you could do that!
This is the sort of thing that you can do well if you know the pattern, comes with experience.
love these educational videos interspersed with the normal chess coverage! i'm trying to improve my chess, and these really help
Amazing! Thank you! My friends at the bar and the library will really be impressed!

6:44“ now he’s gonna try, a well he doesn’t have have anything to try,”😂
I'm fairly new to actually playing chess and trying to get better, It's quite useful to see videos like this as I often find my opponent resigning therefore not giving me the endgame practice that I need.
Perfect. Thank you Agadmator!
Nice explanation! I knew the "rule of knight" always moving in a "W" shape.
I think there is one critical "trick" missing at 6:30
For the case that Black is not going Kf8, but voluntarily to Kd8, trying to escape to a1 via c7.
In this case you go
... Kd8
Ke6 Kc7
Nd7 nevertheless!
... Kc6
Bd3!
Blocking the black King to escape to a1. This position has to be remembered.
... Kc7
Be4 Kd8 (...Kc8 Kd6 Kd8 Bg6)
Ke6 an so on... (Ke8 is met by Bg6+)
Cheerio!
Yes! Thanks so much! I was practicing and it went to d8 and I was so lost until I read your comment!
Here;s another explanation: ua-cam.com/video/7OGAiz5p_L4/v-deo.html
@@mingming9604 Thank you for this link! Seems like the same method but clearly explains what to do if the opponent isn't cooperative!
exactly my issue practicing against the engine, thanks
@@mingming9604 this is gold, explained way better, i managed to beat the engine
The 50 move rule now is actually 50 moves without taking anything
Or without moving a pawn. ie. you don't need to take anything as long as you have a pawn and move it. But obviously white doesn't have a pawn here.
If you had the luxury of having a pawn at a lonely side of the board, just push it every 40 or so moves to reset your move count and just keep going lol
@@softlocked9586 or just promote that pawn and make it easy for yourself?
@@Erik-ij5jb yea, but you're forgetting that you want the flex of checkmating with a bishop and knight
These end game videos are awesome! I felt like you did a really good job of simplifying the idea.
setting up the wall first such that the knight is in a position to check the opponent king when it is in the wrong corner is the key part of this method that makes it a lot more easier than the other methods that mention triangulation and whatnot. thanks agadmator, that was super intuitive!
This thumbnail is art, perfection!
always force a knight & bishop endgame just to deliver this fancy checkmate. I am a kinght-bishop specialist now but you should really see the death messages I get.
We love you Agadmator!!Thank you for this!🥰
I don’t watch many or if at all other chess you tubers but I always like how detailed and visually pleasing ur videos are. Easy to understand and not a strain. Always love ur videos

You said it was easy. You lied to us! Betrayals! 😭
once about 20 years ago I asked a teacher : ""Is it hard?" and he told me:"everything you don t know is hard and everything you know is easy...."
Thanks
, your style works in educational videos perfectly
Ok, so the triangles and knight zig-zag have been in my memory as parts of how to do this, but the central formation you just showed combined with opposition finally tie everything together for me in a way that makes this consistently possible, after years of not getting it. It feels so rewarding, thank you, I will practice with family and friends, and I know one day in a tournament game I'll be forced to know this. Thank you again, I can also now teach this to my students.
I was 12 and I we went to a chess competition at school. Somehow I made it to this ending but we agreed to a draw, cuz I didn't know how to checkmate. Now I know it haha
I needed this
I was always confused in this
By the way I saw a 1700 who was unable to checkmate using knight and bishop
Thank you for this agad
I saw a gm who didn’t know the proper technique, so a 1700 doesn’t necessarily have to know it, it almost never happens
female grandmaster failed to do it few years ago, i forgot who it was
The scoop is to found a 1700 who does know ahah
I reckon most 1700s would fail to find a mate against robust defence, unless they've specifically learnt a technique.
I say this as a ~1600 :) I've only had this position as the defending side, and my opponent got me to the edge of the board but hung a fork trying to stop me escaping while trying to avoid threefold repetition.
@@JimmyJJJohnson what is your chess.com rating??
I really enjoy you're educational Videos :D
great content and explanation keep going man !
I was going to get my earphones but I accidentally clicked and on loudspeaker I heard "HELLO EVERYONE"....long story short, I didnt get my earphones and continued watching.
Wow... thanks for sharing
6:29 You didn't show what happens when the king tries to go the other way, it can get quite tricky because the king can easily escape if you don't play all the right moves. I recommend Danny Rensch's tutorial for this if you really wanna learn this checkmate.
You're a lifesaver dude, danny did actually explained it a more simple way and quite beautifully
Great lesson, we need more of these
This is by far the best explanation video of the Knight & Bishop checkmate technique I've ever seen and I should know... I've watched 2 other videos on the subject!
The opponent king: *Premove randomly*
Me *Running out of time trying to checkmate*
*After a while: and now that's a nice stalemate you got there
this is the simplest tutorial i have seen of knight and bishop checkmate
Thank you very much Antonio, that was fantastic instruction!!
We really enjoy educational videos like this one and we want to see more of them in the future
That was a very good explanation, but you didn't mention what if he goes to d8 at 6:26, then there is another concept that we have to use our knight and bishop to create a staircase. I learned it from another video I can now mate in at least 33 or 34 moves from any position. Thanks!
Which video?
Great video Agad. I'd really like to watch a good video about "Queen vs rook endgame". I just can't get it.
Great video and very helpful please do some more !
Awesome vid as always Agad, this was most informative
"Phase 3 would be delivering absolute checkmate"
But what is Relative checkmate then..(laughing)
Who else likes these agadmator videos where he teaches mates!
Great educational video! Please make more of these videos.
Very productive, very easily explained and very helpful ! Thank you
i just resign to avoid even more humiliation
If you suspect that your opponent doesn't know how to checkmate with knight and a bishop it's a good idea to play. But not at the higher ELO obviously.
Me: *wakes up and sees no new videos from agadmator*
Also me: *Hello? Police?*
Lol so true
Awesome breakdown of a tricky CM. Thanks man
Thanks alot, very useful!

Thank you so much. This was so helpfull for me. The triangle method is kind of confusing. This helped me to learn this. 😃
Me:"I'm going to win, I've got king and two bishops against your lone king, you should resign."
Opponent:"But they have to be opposite colour bishops...."
That means you under promoted a pawn to the same color bishop , which is STUPID !!

Thank you! I did not know how to do this. This was so helpful.
This has to be one of the most situational tutorials out there, but none the less still a great one!
6:30 "of course he's going to go back" - actually I set this up against the engine and it chose to go towards the light corner, slipping round the side of my king. How to prevent this?
that is actually worse for black.
but it is common tactic, because it is not as "simple"
so given position in timestamp:
W: Kf6 Ne5 Bh7
B: Ke8
if black goes
1... Kd8 (instead of Kf8 as in video)
in hope of escaping, correct way is to cut of him with
2. Be4
with the idea that if black "continues to run"
2. ... Kc7
you reply with
3. Nc4
.. creating "wall" b6 c6 d6
and you push him with king via 7th rank
if black tries to repeat moves
2. .. Ke8
you cut him with bishop again,but not from h7 but from d5

Thank you so much for these endgame videos. It's always good to have different people doing tutorials.
Before you get to the bishops vs king, I'm playing Battle vs. Chess on the PS3, and it was one of the puzzles. The catch is, you have to checkmate within 18 moves from the following position:
White king A8, bishop A5, bishop E6, black King E4.
I was originally going to ask for help as I did it twice in 19 moves, then miraculously pulled it off in 15.
Anyways, appreciate all your content as it helped get me back into chess after about 20 years. Thank you.
Great video. It’s many years since I read Paul Keres’ Practical Chess Endings and I never could understand his description of mating with B & N. However, after your explanation followed by some practice against Stockfish, I find it really is pretty straightforward!
I love this method very simple concept and you don’t have to necessarily remember the moves, just the concept, push the king along.
I came up with many of these moves before agadmator said them just through logic so I assume I could probably do the same in a game
More videos like this please. Excellent.
Every Chess player should learn this checkmate pattern...
Very useful stuff....
I'm very happy to see Antonio fiddle with the colours, which hasn't happened in a while, and also to report I couldn't make out a single difference being red-green colourblind
Please bring more of these videos....I mean the lesson ones....
And by the way, you're a great teacher man....
excellent demonstration with the use of the walls
Thank you very much for this video A.! Watching you carefully push the black King around the board was eye-opening
Thanks for the video, Antonio.
Hey Agadmator! I have been a subscriber to your channel before it even reached 100k. I congratulate you for the recognition you deserve for the awesome chess commentary, keep it up always! So, without further ado, I suggest you make one of these educational videos, but this time about how to avoid stalemate through understanding Zugswang and pawn endgames. Thank you, and as always, stay active, informational, and fun!
Agad should do a review of his chess set!
Wow, Agadmator! I already knew how to checkmate with bishop and knight, but the highlighting of the squares really helped out!
