    Is it possible to force a check mate on a open board with a bishop and a knight?  In this puzzle black could take one bishop and then sacrifice the rook for the queening pawn. I am not sure if white can force a win at that point.

    Can't you just go B+N vs K?

    Kxe5 is not right

    ----------------------------

    Black drops his rook if he takes the pawn, plus the diagonal barrier is set and the knight free to roam.


    Kxe5 is correct. If Kxg6 then Bc2+ and white takes the rook. If the King takes no pieces, then it's impossible to prevent the pawn from queening and black ends up against a queen and two other pieces.

    i never would take the Bb3 with the Rb8 ... because it´s difficult to mate with bishop and knight ..


    I agree. I would say it is imposible to mate with bishop and knight.

    Black should have waited for the pawn and exchange it. Forcing a draw

    Mating with a bishop and knight is a well known endgame.  It is possible though not intuitive, it's something you have to learn

    Guys, Stop spamming nonsense.

    Knight and bishops is a certain mate.  And you could have known this if took the time to simply google it.

     

    Anyway, Genius puzzle if you ask me.
