Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to tell you all how to Checkmate with two Bishops. Yes, it's possible. The Checkmate is like this:
As you can see, the bishop form a wall to Checkmate the King. Here are more examples:
Okay, enough examples, I am going to show you all right away of how to do this.
First, we have to seal off the entrance. We are going to 'eat' more of the squares.
See, black cannot escape through any of the square. The Bishops sure is hungry! Yeah, it's a joke only, Bishops don't have mouth or teeth. Next, we are going to eat the square by the King. So that the Bishops can move. Like this:
As you can see, the King seals off one of the dark coloured Bishops square, letting the Bishop free. Always move the King opposite to the opponent's King. Then, we seal off the King's possible moves by align the bishop vertically. Just make sure the Bishops are protected.
Continue this process until the second last rank.
You might ask why I move the Bishop away at move 9. That is because I am playing a waiting move.
