EG 8 - KNIGHT and BISHOP MATE:
This position is again from “Basic Chess Endings” (fig 5) and shows the proper method to mate with Bishop and
Knight versus the lone King. This is the most difficult of the basic mates. To mate with Knight and Bishop it is
necessary to do so in the corner of the board, which is of the same color as the Bishop. The matter is complicated by
the fact that it is impossible to directly drive the King to one of the correct corners. Hence, the King must first be
driven to the corner, which is not the same color as the Bishop, then use this method to drive the King into the
correct corner where mate is administered.
Setting the END GAME POSITION EG 8:
−
Press SET LEVEL key once or twice to select LEVEL GROUP II and then press square G8.

the move for White.
−

Gn 1 - LEGALS's MATE:
This pretty check mate idea comes down to us from M. de Kermur Legal (1702-1792). Many an unwary beginner
may be caught in this trap which is so exciting because of the sacrifice of the Queen.
