Hey Chessers!                                                                                                            11/10/2021
I just saw a new endgame and wanted everybody else to know it too grin.png. This type of endgame is not common, but it's possible that you might encounter it. Although I sounded like I know how to do it, sadly I don't know. But I will soon find out with your help happy.png. I already tried learning from lichess, but still not familiar. The point is, you want to force his king to a corner the same colour as your bishop for the last part where you deliver a checkmate. trophies.png

- EXAMPLE -               M1 = move 1
           #1   Restricting the King to the First Triangle  (White to move)

 M1: Move your king closer to the center.  M4: White now controls the center. black will usually try to move towards the wrong corner (h8 in this case). This looks like a good opportunity to get your Bishop into the game.  M7: Get knight in the game.

           #2  Restricting the King to the Second Triangle  (Black to move)

M2: Play a waiting move to force black's king back.  M8: Avoid putting your King on d5, because that is where you want your Knight to end up.  M12: Get the Knight to cover b6, c7 and e7.

           #3  Restricting the King to the Third Triangle  (Black to move)


           #4  Delivering a Checkmate  (White to move)

Try checkmating White in this bishop and knight endgame. The puzzle is done in just one move. Hope you like it.
