is that even possible
the rarest checkmate, the doubly disambiguated bishop capture checkmate
Sort:
@Fr3nchToastCrunch this is true, but this kind is super rare its more common to use your king rather than extra 2 bishops.
- if anyone is wondering how to do this you just need a bishop of 1 color promote 2 pawns to bishop with same color as the original get you enemy kings in the right possition make sure in has a peice to take the bishops are all in a triangle-like shape take the extra peice and u have it
- {the guy above me shows an example}.

You probably also watched hikaru’s video on that, but in case you didn’t:
With a doubly disambiguated bishop move, you’re not attacking any new squares, so it would have to be a revealed checkmate.
Furthermore, because of how the bishops have to be arranged, a vertical revealed checkmate is impossible, so it had to reveal a checkmate by a 4th bishop of the same color, or a queen.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. How can a bishop reveal a check by another bishop of the same colour? And why can't it reveal a discovered checkmate by a rook? Here is an example of a game I played against Martin - it's a capture checkmate, but a discovered rook checkmate nonetheless:

I am an about 200 rated player and with players that bad I still can not get doubly disinbiguated bishop capture check mate

Some tips:
- Keep as many pawns as possible (I fianchetto'd my bishops and didn't push my centre pawns)
- Wait until your opponent blunders eveything and then promote your pawns, getting three bishops of the same colour.
- I think the way I did it is probably easiest, where I left the opponents' b pawn (with light-sqaured bishops) or g pawn (dark-squared bishops)
- Block the opponent's b (g) pawn from promoting with a piece
- Prepare the discovered checkmate like I did (notice I only put the bishop on c1 only when the pawn could not capture because my rook on a2 would give a discovered check. Subsequently, I kept giving checks, preventing bxc1
has anyone got this, example move : Bc4xd5#
