Hi,
There are a lot of YouTube tutorials on how to make this checkmate, however I have to say that some (even the pretty popular ones with 100,000s of views) are not explained well at all. I think this old one made by Danny Rensch does a good job.

Thanks. And two knights+King vs single pawn+King? Do you have any reference @ellipsoul?

The best reference for this is Collection of Chess Studies by A.A.Troitzky (Ishi Press), but it covers only the wins for the side with two knights. I don't believe there is any reference that covers the wins for the side with the pawn.

But note this shows you one of a number of ways to mate from a position in the wrong corner. Your opponent won't necessarily go there.
Also the efficiency is suspect. His second position is obviously mate in 5 if you've practised the endgame, but he makes it mate in 6 and carries that back to the remaining positions.
I like this video as it shows a systematic approach - big triangle medium and small method!!!

This could better be described as covering the endgame than the previous one mentioned, but still not efficient. See my post #22 here https://www.chess.com/forum/view/endgame-study/bishop-knight-mate-on-chess-com-45857148?page=2 and subsequent discussion.
I think the best way, really, is to work out your own method, failing which to practise it against an engine with EGTBs.
Can anybody post a video on this? Thanks in advance. There is a drill at https://www.chess.com/drills/practice/bishop-and-knight-mate-the-edge. Kindly don't post link to this. I want illustrative video on this.
