Show me a possition that is checkmate with King vs King and Bishop. It cannot be done.

It was a long time ago, so I may be dreaming. Let me check it out again. And for anyone's information I do not cheat on my games! I play separate games on my set.

I'm not sugesting you cheat or anyone else, but there are those that say you are soooo not to ask any general questions while playing a game but as long as you don't tell them, you can get a chess master to pretend he is you!

Do you accept that some valid points have been made on my behalf?

It sounds as if people have sets that analyze moves for them. Mine just plays against me. It shows different openings, and some famous matches. It also has a bunch of setups where you can try to mate in two or three moves. Or you can practice mating with different pieces. But, it sure does not tell me what to do in any given situation. I have to figure that out myself.

Even with the lone King on a corner square it is impossible. For example, if the King is on a1, then the superior sides King on b3 can cover a2 and b2, but the Bishop cannot cover a1 and b1 as they are different colours.

I am playing OTB on Thurday and wonder if the game goes
1.d4 d5
2.c4 dxc4

I should have kept quiet because you are absolutely right. Dumb me. I was thinking of having two bishops and trying to pin down the king. I am no expert and now everyone on this site knows it.

Sometimes I try to be. Don't be mad, please. I think your original question was answered. I should have stayed out of it. Forgive me?😳
