endgame

can someone please tell me how to win the knight+bishop+kingVsking endgame??? it is a win, i know that, and i've managed it once-i just can't remember how!...but i can do the b+b+k vs k...

the idea is to kinda force black into an area that he can't escape and corner, then mate him. 🙂 It's not easy! hehe.

Here's an example in PGN format:

[White "White"]
[Black "Black"]
[Result "1-0"]
[Setup "1"]
[FEN "4k3/8/8/8/8/5B2/2N5/4K3 w - - 0 1"]

1.Ne3 Kd7 2.Kd2 Ke8 3.Nf5 Kf7 4.Ke3 Kf6 5.Kf4 Kg6 6.Be4 Kh7 7.Bd5 Kg6
8.Ke5 Kh7 9.Kf6 Kh8 10.Ne7 Kh7 11.Ng6 Kh6 12.Bg8 Kh5 13.Ne5 Kh4 14.Bd5
Kg3 15.Nd3 Kg4 16.Kg6 Kh4 17.Bb3 Kg3 18.Bd1 Kh4 19.Be2 Kg3 20.Kf5 Kh4
21.Bg4 Kg3 22.Kg5 Kh2 23.Kh4 Kg2 24.Be2 Kh1 25.Kg3 Kg1 26.Nf4 Kh1 27.Bd3
Kg1 28.Nh3+ Kh1 29.Be4# 1-0
