Great lesson, thanks…Regards to Saint Louis chess club from Emsworth chess club, England
13:38 bishop h5 or d5 is a tricky move but fortunately , I found a sollution for that: if h5: king g5 if d5: king e5 After discovered check, bishop f7 is the only move that saves the bishop for a while and then you move your king to f6 after that is he tries to move the bishop then you know what you have to do. if he moves king: if e8 then rook e2 check and the only move to save the bishop is to move king f8 and then rook e7 wins the bishop if g8 then rook g2 check and the only move to save the bishop is to move king f8and then rook g7 wins the bishop hope this helps!

Thanks
Awesome lecture, thank you.
good endgame selection. Mastering bishop and diagonals seems easy to overlook in chess development.
Whats the intro to this?
Thoughtful and clear as always! Thank you~
Smart kid

Chess greetings from John Cochrane to all of you
13:38 bishop h5 or d5 is a tricky move but fortunately , I found a sollution for that:
if h5:
king g5
if d5:
king e5
After discovered check, bishop f7 is the only move that saves the bishop for a while
and then you move your king to f6
after that is he tries to move the bishop then you know what you have to do.
if he moves king:
if e8 then rook e2 check and the only move to save the bishop is to move king f8 and then rook e7 wins the bishop
if g8 then rook g2 check and the only move to save the bishop is to move king f8and then rook g7 wins the bishop
hope this helps!
