checkmate

is it possible to get a checkmate with a bishop and king against a king only?

no,it's a dead draw.

If you add a king it will work. One possibility is:
white: Kb6, Bb7#, Nc6 black: Ka8
This position is rather rare.
To avoid annoying comments you have to tell the truth:
This is NOT about a game in progress.
Also, don't make any mistakes while typing.

This has to be the commonest question posted on this site.

As such, it is the most annoying. And so, henceforth I shall offer various answers whenever I come across it.

I'll start with the correct one: NO.


Edit: The same goes for "How do I Castle?"

why at 24 moves with only a king did it not offer a draw?😳

It did many years ago. And no, it's Bowmann.

In OTB chess, when you move your king to castle, does the referee move your rook for you?

Change my pitch up.
