Beginner Chess Endgame: Checkmate with a Bishop and a Knight

Dear Chess Friends,

Today, we're diving into one of the most challenging checkmates in chess — the bishop and knight mate.

This is a true test of endgame technique. It doesn’t come up often, but when it does, you’ll want to be ready. We’ll go step-by-step through the key ideas, show you how to drive the king to the right corner, and break down the patterns you need to master this elegant finish.

Whether you’re learning it for the first time or just brushing up, this is one of those endgames that separates the serious players from the rest.
Let’s jump in!
