00:01.680 --> 00:09.300
Hi there in this long show, we're going to see how two bishops can checkmate the opponents king so

00:09.300 --> 00:16.080
in this example, a very, very good move is to bring the king further, to take a really active role

00:16.380 --> 00:17.940
in helping to checkmate the opponents.

00:17.940 --> 00:20.550
King now that say King is heaven.

00:21.210 --> 00:28.920
King E5 where we've set up a wall for the opponents king here by using our king very aggressively.

00:29.460 --> 00:31.410
The opponents king is heavily restricted.

00:32.220 --> 00:38.550
Now, let's say the king goes to this side of the board, king the seven.

00:39.840 --> 00:43.790
We can now play Bishop Seifi.

00:43.790 --> 00:44.760
I'm saying hold on.

00:44.760 --> 00:51.080
You're not really going to go back now and we're going to try and make the opponents king on eight,

00:51.270 --> 01:00.840
believe it or not, King C7 we can play King is six, so we're directing the King to eight.

01:02.430 --> 01:08.010
And here we can further restrict the king's movements with Bishop B sex.

01:08.580 --> 01:11.460
So you can see the bishops are working really well together.

01:13.380 --> 01:14.640
We have King B eight.

01:15.990 --> 01:25.800
There's not too many move choices and here is a great time to play a so-called waiting move which improves

01:25.800 --> 01:27.930
the position slightly.

01:30.150 --> 01:31.470
Bishop D5.

01:33.360 --> 01:41.640
So the Bishop is ready and waiting here on day five for now.

01:42.000 --> 01:43.050
King Desex.

01:45.920 --> 01:51.560
To be able to happen, the king is heavily restricted King C6.

01:53.830 --> 02:01.720
And we see now because the bishops on these five, we've got the option of bishop ethics check to drive

02:01.720 --> 02:03.270
the king back into that corner.

02:05.930 --> 02:12.770
So the king hasn't got that many choices about it, in fact, because if King 8:00 then is an immediate

02:12.770 --> 02:15.470
execution of King C7, checkmate.

02:17.360 --> 02:23.730
So the king goes to see aides, but now Bishop is six, Jack King, be eight.

02:25.640 --> 02:28.880
And here we can play another wonderful waiting move.

02:30.950 --> 02:31.940
Bishop defo.

02:34.460 --> 02:35.330
Hearing aids.

02:38.050 --> 02:44.290
And now the king can play an even more aggressive role to take away the opponents king escape squares.

02:44.800 --> 02:48.070
The king is now reassuringly limited to just two squares.

02:48.910 --> 02:49.840
King be eight.

02:51.040 --> 02:55.480
And how can you see a force that makes them into.

02:56.910 --> 03:05.730
So once playing Bishop E5 Check Cahide and Bishop D5 is Chameides.

03:08.320 --> 03:16.120
So the king and the two bishops can really force the king, the opponents king into a corner, and because

03:16.120 --> 03:19.380
we've got two bishops of both calls, it doesn't matter which corner.

03:19.390 --> 03:24.910
Actually, if we go back, we can actually say they are in this position.

03:25.690 --> 03:28.620
Didn't go to D7, so they went F7.

03:28.630 --> 03:32.970
We can make them basically by force on age eight.

03:33.730 --> 03:34.780
Here is an example.

03:35.470 --> 03:44.410
King Desex can't find an aggressive use of the king to take away Escape Quest King eight, as if they're

03:44.410 --> 03:45.820
going to run away to the side of the border.

03:46.330 --> 03:47.250
No, no, no.

03:48.100 --> 03:49.030
Bishop B six.

03:50.480 --> 03:51.790
So King of eight.

03:53.590 --> 03:59.830
And now we can play King F six, King eight and our Bishop C six.

03:59.830 --> 04:01.960
We're forcing them to that direction.

04:04.060 --> 04:10.150
And here we can play a powerful weighting move.

04:11.590 --> 04:15.190
Bishop A7 of the King G eight.

04:17.440 --> 04:18.370
Kinky sex

04:21.520 --> 04:24.760
cafe, as if they're about to escape to heaven.

04:25.420 --> 04:29.880
But now, Bishop, see, I've checked with forcing them very close down to that corner.

04:30.850 --> 04:37.810
And in fact, of the bishop, the five, Jack King and James Bishop, the four is checkmate.

04:41.210 --> 04:49.340
So the bishops are beautifully checkmating that the king on Desex and they will just recap the other

04:49.340 --> 04:49.710
way.

04:50.030 --> 04:53.600
It was a king on B sex with the bishops like this.

04:55.130 --> 05:02.390
So one of the bishops delivering the check, one controlling that square, their adjacent square to

05:02.390 --> 05:03.420
the corner square.

05:04.370 --> 05:05.610
Yeah, that's contrast.

05:07.010 --> 05:12.940
So one of the bishops controlling the adjacent square and the other one checking and the king there.

05:13.850 --> 05:18.510
So that's a pattern to Rome as well.

05:18.530 --> 05:28.550
So very, very interesting how the two bishops, they can quite easily checkmate the opponents king

05:29.240 --> 05:30.700
into your chosen corner.

05:33.320 --> 05:33.830
That's Claire.

05:35.410 --> 05:41.590
And you might need to practice this and gain a little bit with a friend or just computer.

05:42.520 --> 05:44.230
OK, that's a much.
