  • very good stuff !! did you work this out on your own ?

    there is another endgame I never really understood: it's ROOK BISHOP against ROOK ... HELP !!!

  • No, I did not work it out on my own. It's called the Deletange method. Invented by Mr. Deletange.

  • Majnu, theres no more point for me to buy chess books. That video was too good. I notice that when u say something it stays in my mind for long time. I dont know how u do it. But its great and keep doing it :)

  • Fantastic job with the coloring of the squares, one of the best chess videos I have ever seen.

  • Nice. Much easier than the other methods, and still wont exceed the 50 moves limit. Thanks!

    btw I love your accent lol

  • at 2:37 in the video instead of the black king moving to e7 what if he moves to g8?

  • please help , I have difficulties understanding this method , especially when the king is not in the corner but on the side somewhere and the pieces are uncoordinated.

  • Thank you for the lesson ,it was the only check mate procedure witch i didn't handle , till now . I tried before on chessmaster lesson and no success . already got 3 mate with this procedure under 50 moves ...the rest is practice ... Thank you again !

  • Thanks. I now know two ways to mate the king for B-N endgames.

  • @Majnu2006 Thanks so much

  • @Rattlesnakemeuk white then needs a waiting move like Bb3 so the black king returns to f8. After that white removes the knight giving a discovered check with the bishop.

  • @Majnu2006 And then how does white respond?

  • Majnu, the video would benefit greatly from an explaination of how to get the black king to conveniently in the corner in the first place with the knight and bishop on optimum squares

  • @EikeKehrel Rook and bishop vs. Rook is usually Drawn.

  • cool algorithm. never had this position but might set it up for fun. good video!
