[TheSwaggerCat]

Hi from New Jersey. Thanks for the helpful vid!

[poluv]

Beautiful! Instead of just showing a bunch of moves to memorize, You have conceptually explained how the process works. Cutting of the squares, cornering the opposing king, careful to avoid stalemate and then deliver checkmate! Thank you Sir! Very well done indeed!

[Sitarkos399]

Hello from Athens, Greece! I enjoy your videos very much. :-)

[coachese]

Hi from new york, new york. just wanted to point out that at 8:39 after ...Kb8, white needs to be careful NOT to play Kd7 and stalemate. Nothing more frustrating than accidentally drawing a won game!

Love all your videos, thanks for taking the time to make them!

[Inglese001]

[ChessNetwork]

@Doirse1 Great to hear. It'd be great to see you do a video response showing the 6 year olds using this method. :)

[romayne2]

why not 1... Kd3 ?

[grandpatarzan]

@romayne2 Kd3 is playable of course, but white would then occupy e5 and d5 and the whites king is now much closer to the action and the checkmate would happen quicker. it would happen on the oposite side of the board from the video conclussion

[grandpatarzan]

@romayne2 @romayne2 Kd3 is playable of course, but white's bishops would then occupy e5 and d5 and the white king is now much closer to the action and the checkmate would happen quicker. it would happen on the opposite side of the board from the video conclussion

[MrFornjotr]

Hi from Finland!

[PunKGirLperj]

at the time 8:39/9.42, the light king moves from e6 to d7, so the dark king has the only choice which is to go to c8. What about that?

hello from orlando fl

[willlky85]

From 8:37 onwards, the black king is positioned on B8 four times. By the third repetition, the opponent can claim a stalemate.

Hello Jerry! Woodpusher AmexJam here from California. I liked the video. I'll try it out against Fritz and see how it goes.

[jeniaHimera]

hey from Israel!

[On1Wheel76]

So basically you corral the king to the back rank, then corral him to a corner. Never seem this before. Thank you for the tip!

[janejimmy57]

Jane from Asheville NC, question: is it wise to exchange queens, ie: player puts his queen in my path, I can move away, or both are removed? my husband always seems to not care, I do

[StormSong8]

Hey Jerry! From Stafford Springs, CT! Thanks for the Howard Stern game, that's how I stumbled onto your very excellent channel. You wouldn't happen to have any more Howard games hanging around some place would you?

P.S. You have a great speaking voice. Very clear, calm, and easy to follow.

[moviecritic6]

@iDraw3G Your point?

[ChessNetwork]

@iDraw3G I'm certain I didn't.

[iDraw3G]

@ChessNetwork I know. I just checked his video and it's completely different. Sorry

[Philip6Esq]

Thank you. Very well done. Brooklyn, New York

[GreasemonkeyCGI]

Great video. Many tutorials use the "triangle method" but that allows the opponent to move the king in a way that forces you to play certain tempo-wasting moves that could really cost you in a low time situation.

[kotofu]

hello, Canada Qc :D

[thePROcrastinat0r]

Bro, you are truly an incredible teacher. Your videos changed my perception of how a game could be analyzed and played. These videos have taught me more about chess than the last twenty years of my life. I highly appreciate the kindness you have shown by sharing your wisdom with me. Thank you. --Mountain City, North Carolina (United States)

[Quagmire1174]

thx aus

[Penguincw2]

Thanks.I know there is some faster way to do this but your way is a lot simpler. Canada

[teneight78]

are you whispering b/c this ending is a big secret?

[sanchosley7]

excellent vido, but your voice is so annoying for some reason. like a school boy or something. deepen your voice and be a man! haha

It would be nice if you made a video of how to detect/avoid draws, Guadalajara, Mexico

whats your rating?

[xLucidDre4mx]

What is the software used in this video?

[xLucidDre4mx]

I assume this is forced? No way out for black?

[viniciushnetto]

Hi there! I'm Vinicius from Brazil =)

[tatomuck18]

how do you checkmate with 2 bishops on the same color?

[derickocrusher]

This needs to be a little bit louder when making this vids. Good video nonetheless

[parazitu10]

I am 1700 elo And i didn't know how to checkmate with 2 bishops:D I am from romania by the way and y play chess for almoust 2 years

[hypnotistguy]

at 6:40 Kd5 then Kc8, Bd6, Kd8, Bb7, Ke7, Bc7, Kf8, Bc6, Kf8, Kf3, Kg8, Kg6, and if Kh8, Bd6, Kg8, Bd5, Kh8, Be5 checkmate, or if Kf8, Kf6 and do the same thing

[hypnotistguy]

at 6: 28 what if Kf7?

[JohnnyEnglish1231]

@hypnotistguy

I have the same question but the answer is simple... the white king prevents the black king from going there...

[yemonsun]

NY, USA!

[Splagl]

Great video. I've been playing chess for years and I never knew you could checkmate with 2 bishops. I also don't think any game I have played ever ended up with 2 bishops, but now after seeing this if I am ever faced with this situation in the future I will be able to win. Thanks for the great video.

[fess04]

awesome!!! thank you for the knowledge....thanks from Morphy's home....New Orleans : )

[VMLondon]

it's slow moving but good!

I tried it on Fritz.

[hetenbliksem]

Hi,

I like this tutorial very much.

Like you say its not the shortest manner, (the shortest is max 19 moves with best play by booth sites, according to Müller's endgame dvd).

Is it from some endgame book or so?

I want to ask because if it is I want to know the title, there most be some more good tutorials in this book.

Regards, Jonathan

[bierbuik]

Belgium loves ChessNetwork too!

[bottleimp007]

I love the bishop pair, they are almost invincible! Beautiful tutorial, congrats! Even Bobby himself would be proud.

[surfthenet1]

how many steps do king have before being checkmate?

[sandeshthelibran]

great tutotial! Subscribed!

Hello from Germany!!

[ANSIcode]

What if at 8:50 the king is on c8 instead of b8?

[hetenbliksem]

@ANSIcode You have to make his king is on c8.

When coming with your king to a6 next to your bishop you have to make shore you have opposition, (you can waste a move by going to a5 first).

[breakingbeans]

Great Video ! from Kentucky
