Assuming no really bad blunders
can king and queen force mate against king and bishop
i had king and queen and could find no way through
regards flyingbolt
WanderingWinder
Yes, and it's generally not that difficult. Post a position and I'm sure someone will give you the technique.
marvellosity
Yes, it's a much easier mate than QvN. You just stay on the opposite colour of the bishop and box the king in, and there's nothing they can do.
Would appreciate anybody to show me the way
Put king and bishop anywhere in middle of board next to each other
Put king and queen at side of board next to each other
and take it from there
