Ji bro can you pls tell me how to improve in blitz I am slow player and I alway play rapid but my coach alway organizes blitz tournament online and I got destroyed evey time I do so much blunder in one blitz tournament that I just didn't do in my entire life.
I do not like to be defeated and I get very frustrated after every tournament and that aslo I am paired alway with player rated 500 elo points above than me thanks to lichess pairing system which is just a piece of crap now I am just fade of getting destroyed and ashamed I have told him 1000 times to organize rapid tournament but he just creates a poll ans everyone votes for blitz tournament and then again another blitz tournament gets played
Any tips to improve my calculation in blitz which is another piece of crap

did you win it?

No, it doesn't. It's a waste of time, the position is almost impossible to get.
That is one game out of 20,000.
It's still useful, imagine being close to beating a GM but you couldnt due to not remembering the technique that would be unfortunate for the player winning

They say the average chess player will encounter this ending twice in their lifetime. People who play obsessively a lot will maybe see it more. Others will never see it even in 60 years of playing.
I've seen it twice, once genuine, the other time it was intentional so that probably doesn't count. In my opinion it's not really worth learning. The only thing I knew is you have to force the opponents king into the corner of your bishops color. The rest is just regular chess moves you already know.

@Kowarenai, I would like to share the link to a specific video by ChessNetwork. But I can't because I'm on mobile. I memorized it well after seeing that. You'd better see that for elaborate explanation of bishop and knight checkmate.

The matter of fact is even if the position occurs one time in your entire life may be that one time could be in the most important tournament of your life and if hypothetically I would say it would even may be world chess champion ship final and the position is on the board it is winning but u haven't learn it, then you will regret it all your entire life

Hi,
If you've watched several video's explaining the method on how to do it, have you practiced against another player and/or engine with it? It's how I used to work on many different endgame concepts and positions prior, setting up the theoretical winning position then trying to win it against an engine until I could confidently do so (and once in a while, find another player to practice with- but for this checkmate, against an engine seems fine because once you understand how it works then it doesn't matter what the opponent plays really).
To those who say it's not worth the time learning- you're wrong because knowing how to checkmate in all legal ways is always good to know and even if it doesn't come up in any game you ever play, understanding how the pieces interact with each other and learning how to think through a position and solve it is always great for your chess. Masters spend copious amounts of time in their careers solving complex studies, most with positions never to arise in an actual game, because it enhances their calculating and evaluating position skills. This is not really that different, although on a far lesser complexity level.

It's not my advice, it's advice from grand masters.
It's the advice of an IM not GM. Better listen to GMs. Did you see Caruana's technique in Titled Tuesday?
It indicates he was interested to learn it.
I would imagine grandmasters and other good players probably think it's more beneficial to spend time practicing other piece movements than this one. Endgames with rooks and bishops and rooks and knights for example. Or pawn endgames.
I don't see any harm in learning the knight/bishop checkmate, but only for fun. It doesn't really have any practical use.
i know there is the W technique and the video with danny rensch but i just get so confused in memorizing how the bishop is supposed to lock in the king from escaping so that its forced to the side of the colored bishop, how can i get better at it? i have seen some videos such as hikarus version where he teaches it along recommending the danny rensch but also @ChessNetwork's which is incredibly educational but still stuck
