| Jun-21-05 | | Runemaster: A strange game. At the end, Randy has to show that he knows how to win with B+N v K, but before that he has to get through the unusual situation of B+N v 3P. |

| Dec-03-05 | | Chopin: Great game. Bishop and Knight Vs King are very hard endgames. Technique is crucial, otherwise the games can go on for ages. |
|
| Dec-03-05 | | Koster: Personally I wouldn't play this out against anyone over 2200 and white was clearly much better than that. |
|
| Dec-03-05 | | Chopin: <koster> good point! I think most masters and GMs can play BN v K in their sleep. |

| Dec-03-05 | | aw1988: You would be really suprised. In Dvoretsky's works he shows dozens upon dozens of 'tragicomedies'. |

 | | blazerdoodle: Set it up with Fritz9. It's astonishing watching Fritz9 crush me in positions and situations I didn't even know were possible. It is a mind boggling endgame. |
|
| Oct-11-06 | | TrueFiendish: The plan is simple but not so simple to carry out: force opposition king to corner of opposite colour to that of your bishop. Then force along rank or file to adjacent corner and mate with one of several formations. |

| Oct-11-06 | | syracrophy: Awesome!
I can't believe I drew a game where I had ♔+♗+2 ♘ vs. ♔ I felt incredibly embarassed. I really need to learn how to win with bishop+knight vs king |

| Feb-02-08 | | achieve: Yes, keep practising -- I have been doing that for two months now and it pays off bigtime. 64. Ba4 was the better way to go, grabbing that a4-e8 cut-off diagonal... 64...Ka5 then simply 65 Bd7 foll by 66. Ne6 - and the lone King is unable to escape the corner of doom... Mate within 10 moves if you practise this for a while in order to have a remedy against every attempt of escape, and to drive the King to a8. PRACTISE!!

| Jul-24-08 | | ravel5184: I have been practising KBN vs. K thirty minutes a day for two weeks and I still don't have it completely down! I get confused when it is that I have to let the King off the back row. |

I have seen a couple of strong players fumble here, and overstepping the 50 move limit. Great fun, and after having seen that, today I'd play on.
At the least one could get a refresher on how it was done. :-) |

| May-28-09 | | WhiteRook48: I overstep the move limit in this situation all the time |

Exactamente <juan31>, esta partida es una excelente demostración de técnica de finales. Después de <47.Nxc7> las "Endgame Nalimov Tablebases 6 pieces" concluyen: Mate en 34 jugando perfecto, el Mate ocurrió en 31. Pareciera ser un buen prospecto para el Guess the move. |

 | | MSteen: I have finally almost mastered two bishops vs. a lone king, but this ending still seems magical to me. There must be alchemy involved. :) |

Well spotted - the Bishop on d5 is overloaded, needing to protect h1 to stop mate and a2 to protect the a6 pawn. |
