Here's another Step by Step Tutorial to Checkmate with 2 Bishops:

[asamataua]

Got a stalemate like five seconds ago had to look this up thank you!

[sumangalanair]

The answer to the puzzle is as follows: Qc3+, sacrificing the queen if Qxc3 then Nb6 is a beautiful checkmate and if the King moves to d7 then we can win the queen and white can easily win this from here. And nice video btw.

So glad I found this video. I’ve watched other videos about checkmating with just the queen and king and somehow my brain could not get it straight and I would stalemate half the time. I can checkmate with just the queen and king every single time now thanks to this video. Excellent content.

Happy Teacher's day to our chess teacher Jeetendra Advani

Solution to the puzzle:-
Move 1: White plays Queen to C3 check (Qc3+)
if queen captures queen then
Knight to B6 and it will be a beautiful smothered checkmate (Nb6#)
If black plays blocking the check with his bishop (Bc5), Knight (Nc6)or move his king to d7 then
We can simply gobble up the queen (Qxd2) and win the game easily.

Puzzel :
1. We will sacrifise our Queen by playing Queen to c2 check forking the Queen
If he tries to be greedy and takes our queen then he is gone beacuse knight to b6 is a beautiful checkmate
If he blocks the check with his knight or he move his king to d7 then we will simply take the queen and gain a match winning advantage

Happy teacher's day Chess Talk.
You are a very good chess teacher.
I can win such endgames now, with avoiding the stalemates.

Solution to the puzzle:-
Move 1: White plays Queen to C3 check (Qc3+)
Black has 2 options:
1. Queen captures queen (Qxc3)
2.Blocking the check with Knight (Nc6) or Bishop (Bc5) or moving their King (Kd7)
If black plays 1 then,
Move 2: Knight to B6 and it will be a beautiful smothered checkmate (Nb6#)
If black plays 2 then,
Move 2: We can simply gobble up the queen (Qxd2) and win the game easily.

Like if you agree.

Answer to the puzzle
White qc3 sacrificing the queen . Then black takes . Then nb6 is a beautiful checkmate.
Thanks :)

[seeess]

Thumbs up! TYVM! I'm crying because I had king and queen. My opponent has king and pond. And I got confused trying to avoid stalemate. And lost my queen. And my opponent just promoted his pond and won. I should have won that. But now I know what to do.

[brightnight]

after losing this winning position for the 1, 000th time because i ran out of time and didn't understand the technique to drive the enemy king into checkmating position... thank you so much for the straightforward video

If he does'nt subscribe, then he's gone...Let me show you how

[p_square]

Answer to the puzzle:
Qc3+, we sacrifice the queen
If Qxc3 then black will be shocked to see our next move, which is
Nb6# is a beautiful checkmate
There is another move which can be played and that is Kd7 and then we take his queen which is a matchmaking advantage and there is also a possibility that most of our opponents might resign from here.
If he plays anything other than this then he's gone
And a very Happy Teacher's Day to you, Thanks for this amazing content which you provided us
How about a pin instead of a heart😁

[TECHNOGAMERIX]

The solution to the puzzle: 1. Qc3+ (dubious, right?) then Qxc3 then Nb6# is mate.
Sacrificing the queen would deviate the black queen from B file. But if Kd7 (avoid checkmate) then Qxc2 and we have a material advantage so we should be able to win it.

[skanda]

Happy Teacher's day sir,

[Chesschamp]

Answer of Puzzle- Qc2+!! If Qxc2 then Nb6# and if Kd7 or Nc6 then Qxb2 is a easy win, It was a very nice video
