Bonus Puzzle: Is it Possible to checkmate with two Kings?

You’ve heard of the two-Bishop checkmate and two-Rook checkmate, but would it be possible to checkmate with two Kings?

This is purely for hypothetical fun, as this scenario would never come up in a real game. But, is there a forced Two-King checkmate against a normal King?

  • White is the checkmating side, and will be attempting to checkmate the opponent’s King, with their two Kings.
  • Neither white King is royal, and either one may put themself in check.
  • The Black King must respond to all threats of check.
  • The Black King is allowed to capture a White King, and doing so would give them a drawn position.

I tried this challenge earlier, and it is in fact doable - and quite fun to figure out! Can you figure out how to do it?
