TCBC Special (I). Endgame challenge 1K vs. 1K2B. UNRATED!!

This is due to start on 31-12-2020 New year Eve.

This is set up is an Endgame position. 1 King and 2 bishops vs. a king. I think out of the opening, middle game and the endgames stages. The endgame can get overlooked. That’s why I’ve created this, an endgame challenge of 1 King and 2 bishops vs. a King. You got 50 moves to try to checkmate failing that, it be a draw due to the 50 move rule, providing nothing is captured in the 50 moves. If white timeouts it be counted as a draw due to “Game drawn by insufficient material”. With that in mind this will be set to 14 days. So there be less chance of timeouts. It be interesting how many of you work it out, to checkmate with 2 bishops. Once each round gets completed. I will make a report of the results. Minimum requirements is timeout less then 10% and minimum games 10.
