The two bishop endgame shows the strength of both bishops working together. I have detailed what I think is the easiest and most straightforward way to approach this endgame and checkmate the black king.
Feel free to visit to practice this endgame against the computer.
This is a very good way to get consistent at checkmating with two bishops without messing up. I tried to learn the faster way first where you don't move your bishops as much after centralizing them, the king is used more, and later on you split your bishops up to push the enemy king into the corner. It is quicker if you do all the right moves but it's easy to mess up I feel.
With the method in this video you will just have to memorize the king bishop shuffle pattern. It is much easier.
goddamn that music is loud.
thanks
Music is too loud
Cheers for the lesson
what a useless attempt of a lesson…
at 1:52 Be4 is a check soooo I'm gonna go ahead and say at 3:46 was NOT the first check, lol. Otherwise this is a fine video and the narrator is pretty helpful but the explanation of the moves could be sharper+clearer.
7:04 g6 to f7 checkmate
I'll try this out against Fritz. I hope I can accomplish the mate before the 50 moves rule. 🙂
I finally succeed ! Thanks a lot.
thnx
At 7:17, if black King goes H8 instead of F8, white King to F7 = checkmate.
Thanks.
Nice video!! I looked for this video after I stalemated with two bishop because I didn't know how to check mate the whites king 🙁
7 people would rather play snakes and ladders
can u just show the moves instead of talkinggggg
is it possible to win just by not allowing the king to move like if the bishops form an V mark ish around king?meaning its blacks turn to move but the king cant since hes blocked off, but its not check
7:45 if black goes to h8,then white king f7 would be checkmate
I remember the first time I did this successfully. Good Basic skill to know.
One of the many things that separate chess from checker
thx
Thanks for the video
fk it i just resign
At 7:12, if instead of playing Kf6 he plays Bf7+, after …Kf8, Bd6# is mate without giving the black king two options.
at 7:17 if black king goes h8 wight king f7 checkmate
How does chess get harder with less pieces?
thanks this helped me
thank you really helped me
we're just gonna go ahead and go ahead so he's gonna go ahead and then go ahead to go ahead and do this so we'll go ahead and…
very easy
Pls tell me in what opening this position occurs I am waiting to do this mate
Nice video!! Very interesting to know a CHECKMATE is possible in this situation, should I ever find myself in this situation.
Hard
ha ha I just played draw with two bishops……next time maybe, thanks
I caint get this to save my life. is the main object to get the king in position? or to move the bishops to drive the king in the corner
What about at 3:18 Black King moves to f8 or g8 then what
thankfully when i got into this endgame, my opponent resigned :
stale mate is a real threat in end games. in this vid alone i spotted multiple stale mates
Man that is too hard
thnk you very much
Painful
1:33 What if black goes b6? Need answers asap thanks!
I just draw a game because I didn't know this and ran out of time, thanks!
Thanks alot it's VERY hard to learn but it did help me. ^﹏^
Sir here repeat steps then what to do
video start 1:10
I had 2 bishops and rook today vs his king and 2 minutes of time and I ran out of time…
6:47 But if you moved the bishop on g6 to f7 you would already checkmate him right? Because he wouldn't be able to go left or right and he can't take your bishop because of your king. Correct me if I'm wrong tho
I get it but there is no way I am doing this under time pressure. Sorry, my brain stops working.
