1 The Bishop And Knight Checkmate - Ailab.si
1The Bishop and Knight CheckmateThe bishop and knight checkmate in chess is the checkmate of a lone king whichcan be forced by a bishop, knight, and king. With perfect play, checkmate canbe forced in at most thirty-three moves from any starting position where thedefender cannot immediately win one of the pieces, and stalemate is avoidable.Checkmate can only be forced in the corner of the same colour as the squareson which the bishop moves. An opponent who is aware of this will try to stayfirst in the center of the board, and then in the wrong-coloured corner. Thecheckmating process can be divided into three phases:1. Driving the opposing king to the edge of the board.2. Forcing the king to the appropriate corner.3. Delivering a checkmate.In the following hierarchical model, to successfully deliver a checkmate in theKBNK endgame, the chess-player is instructed to always try to execute the highest achievable goal listed below. The goals are listed in order of preference, goal1 being the most preferred. The chess-player is expected to know how to avoidstalemate, piece blunders, and threefold repetitions. Apart from descriptions ofthe goals we also illustrate most of the concepts behind them.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.Deliver checkmate.Prepare the knight for checkmate.Restrain black to a minimal area beside the right corner.Build a barrier and squeeze black king’s area.Approach black from the center.Block the way to the wrong corner.Push black towards the right corner.Push black towards the edge.Approach with the king.Bring the knight closer.Keep the kings close.See the following pages for further explanations.

2Goal 1: Deliver CheckmateA checkmating procedure is the following: two consecutive checks with the minorpieces are delivered, the later one resulting in one of the two types of checkmatepositions shown in Fig. 1.Fig. 1. Checkmate can be delivered by the bishop or the knight, always in the cornerof the bishop’s colour (“right” corner). Each arrow indicates last bishop’s move.Goal 2: Prepare the Knight for CheckmateThis goal applies when the king and the bishop restrain the defender’s king toonly two squares: the corner square and a square on the edge of the board rightbeside the corner square (see Fig. 2). The task of the attacker is to prepare theknight so that it is ready for the checkmating procedure.Goal 3: Restrain Defending King to A Minimal Area Beside TheRight CornerThe task of the attacker is to take squares awayfrom the defending king until it is driven to theedge of the board, and consequently to the cornersquare. The chess-player is advised to aim for thetype of position shown in Fig. 2 where the kingand the bishop restrain the defending king to aminimal area beside the right corner.Fig. 2. A minimal area.
3Goal 4: Build A Barrier and Squeeze Defending KingThe attacker is advised to build a barrier that holds the defending king in anarea beside the right-coloured corner. When such barrier is built, the attackershould aim to squeeze the constrained area in order to further restrain the king:Fig. 3. In the position shown in the left diagram, the attacking side could build thebarrier in the following manner: 1.Ne5-d7 Kc7-c6 2.Bh7-d3!, leading to the position onthe right. The area around the right-coloured corner to which the defending king isconfined, could be squeezed further, e.g., after 2.Kc6-c7 3.Bd3-b5.Goal 5: Approach Defending King from Central SideA part of the basic strategy is to drive the opposing king to the edge of theboard. In order to achieve this, it is beneficial for the attacking side to occupysquares closer to the center of the chessboard then the defending king does. Theattacker should aim to approach the opposing king from the central side of thechessboard:Fig. 4. White king aims to approach the opponent’s king from the central side of theboard. By playing 1.Kg2-f3 (left diagram) white decreases the distance to the squarebeside black king that lies on a straight line between black king and the center of theboard. If black responds with 1.Kh4-g5 (right diagram), white again follows this ruleand moves towards e5 with 2.Kf3-e4, centralising the white king.
4Goal 6: Block the Way to the Wrong CornerWhen defender’s king is already pushed to the edge of the board, the attacker’stask is to constrain as much as possible the defending king’s way to the wrongcoloured corner. At the same time, the attacker should try to keep restrainingthe king to the edge of the board. Fig. 5 shows an example of a typical positionthat often occurred in simulated games.Fig. 5. In the position on the left, white pieces lure the defending king out of the wrongcorner: 1.Ne5-f7 Kh8-g8 2.Bf5-g6 Kf8 (note that this is the only available square, sinceh8 is attacked by the knight) 3.Bh7! The last move in this sequence takes under controlsquare g8, and sets up the blockade one square farther from the wrong corner.Goal 7: Push Defending King Towards The Right CornerThe attacker is advised to push the defending king towards the right-colouredcorner, at the same time not allowing it to move further away from the edge ofthe board. The diagram in Fig. 6 shows the relevant example for this rule.Fig. 6. Black king’s distance from theright corner (a8) should decrease, andblack king should not be allowed tomove away from the edge of the chessboard. This is achieved by the move1.Nf7-e5, and black cannot resist white’sgoals: after 1.Ke8-f8 2.Ne5-d7 Kf8-e83.Kf6-e6 black should move closer to theright corner with the only available move3.Ke8-d8.
5Goal 8: Push Defending King Towards the EdgeThe attacker is advised to arrange the pieces in such way so that the defendingking is pushed towards the edge of the board, and cannot immediately increasethe distance from the edge (see Fig. 7).Fig. 7. Due to coordinated activity ofthe white pieces, if it was black to move,the black king would no longer be ableto stay on the second rank. By movingthe bishop on a safe square along theb1-h7 diagonal, white leaves the move tothe opponent, forcing the black king towards the edge. Afterwards, white kingapproaches closer to the black king, restraining it to the edge of the board.Goal 9: Approach With the KingThe attacker is advised to move the king closer to the opposing king.Goal 10: Bring the Knight CloserThe attacker is advised to bring the knight closer to the defending king.Default Goal: Keep the Kings CloseIf none of the above goals is achievable, at least keep the king as close as possibleto the defending king, and - if possible - strive for the opposition of the kings.
The bishop and knight checkmate in chess is the checkmate of a lone king which can be forced by a bishop, knight, and king. With perfect play, checkmate can be forced in at most thirty-three moves from any starting position where the defender cannot immediately win one of the pieces, and stalemate is avoidable.
