Great video, if only it was easy to grasp with a couple of viewings, all the infomation is their. I just lacked the abilty to absorb it quickly, but due to it being well presented i return to it time and time again

Thanks for this video, especially the N+B vs K was very helpful.

Perfect Practice makes perfect! So im gonna get started!

Thanks again!

First time I've seen this bishop-knight mate.

Good lesson, thanks

I'll have to review the last technique and practice it quite a bit, thank you for showing me a clear concise way on how.

Senerio 1 - I like the idea that it is never a good idea to play for check in the rook king end game rather look to push the king off the board by cutting off his options. Moving the rook away from the opposing king seems counter intuitive but when you follow this with setting up with opposing kings followed by check by the rook it makes all the sense in the world.

Senerio 2 - Think of the picture you want to end the game with and then figure out the steps to get there. In the two bishop king senerio, force opposing king into one of the four corners. Advance king as close to opposing king as possible making rectangle smaller and smaller while being careful not to deliver stalemate. Sometimes you need to bring bishops to the middle of board and make tactical use of waiting moves.

Senerio 3 - memorization.

This was very helpful for a beginner like me. Thank you for the presentation.

great video, this is what us beginners need thank you elliot

Great instruction, helpful and and with a good commentary. This was an "A-ha!" -experience for me. Thanks Elliot

brilliant!:)

"In the King, bishop and knight against the King, Instead of Kc6, black moves Kd8. I believe this move deserves some attention, as it is the best move, and has quite a different continuation. Other than that, great video!"

What do you mean with best move? 1 ... Kb7 is mate in 14, ... Kc6 is mate in 13, ... Kc8 and ... Kd8 is mate in 11.

When I read that it was going to be forty minutes long, I thought I was going to be board stupid, but it was vwry well done, and kept my attention. Five stars.

Thank you for the knight & bishop mate.  I think this was the best explanation that I have ever seen.
