Does anyone know how to mate with knight and bishop? How did you learn to do that? I'm trying so hard to learn the mate but it's so difficult.

I actually got to do it in a game after practicing the drill on this site 10s of times. I use the triangle method, which is not the quickest, but makes the most sense to me

There are tons of videos on YouTube on this mate. Plus, in drills under Puzzles, you'll find it among the checkmates. However, the only reason you'd ever really have for learning this is to say you can do it. It's so incredibly rare that Silman doesn't even cover it in his endgame book.
