I suck, still havn't got it😞
And remember there are three rules:
1. Force the king to the edge of the board;
2. Force the king to a corner;
3. Force the king to the corner that is the color of your bishop.

Yeah, but we are interested in a K+B+N v K ending.
Originally posted by zebanoI know this...and thats why the threatened discovered checks are good..because you can move your knight in front or your bishop and still force the opponent where you want him to go.
