mate

let me show you different moves.

hello

all good moves

but.... why after move 6....bf8  white queen did not checkmate on f7 ?????????

Yeah, but still, definitely have to remember that!

hello

can you checkmate with 2 knights and king

I am not sure if you are serious, but I will throw the answer out there anyway.  Maybe someone will learn something.

A King and two knights can checkmate a lone King. That is to say that there are possible checkmate positions. However, the mate cannot be forced. This means that the opponent must blunder into checkmate. Usually this means playing into the corner when the correct defense is playing towards the center of the board. Surprisingly, a King and two knights can checkmate a King if he has a pawn or pawns left. If the pawns are far enough back, then they will serve as extra tempi for the defending King and allow the knights to use certain positions that would usually be stalemate to force the King into the corner.

hello

i am new at chess.com i wonder if ther is a possibility to set up a quiz /problem /game   i chose and let players solve

and "can you checkmate with 2 knights and king" i know it is possible without a blundring opponent

Only if your opponent has more pieces than his king on the board (usually an extra pawn, though I suppose it could be possible with an enemy knight all the way on the other side of the board.)

Missed mate at 7.Qxf7#

I little embarassing to admit, but  I got mated like this almost move for move the other day. I used to see an early queen, and little threat, and a chance to chase her around with pawns and advance pieces.

Nytik: It only works if they have a pawn because you can plop one of your knights in front of their pawn forcing them into zugzwang, while you push them into a corner with the other knight. The process can be crazy hard though.

Ok, sorry, I have not bothered to research the complexities of knight+knight+king mates!
