if u wait until u run out of time, will it be draw? bcs of insufficient material vs timeout

[@stupidmonkeyforever9049]

Now if you say how to checkmate with a bishop and a knight, I will beat the game!

[@JoshuaBlackmon-pf6xf]

I can do mate in 20 with knight and bishop

[@dvorszkydavid9140]

​@@JoshuaBlackmon-pf6xf If both players play perfectly, the theoretical maximum number of moves is 33.

[@user-iw2cl4ug7z]

Hikaru did this before, the opponent must've thought that she couldn't lose 😂

[@MrCosinuus]

this is a well known position. There is even an entire wikipedia article about it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_knights_endgame

[@History4Buff]

Now that is a poisoned pawn

[@alexzhu4726]

The pawn is behind the Troitsky line thus black wins:p

[@sigmaoctantis5083]

I think it was David Bronstein who called this incapacity of the two knights "the great injustice of chess".

[@JoshuaBlackmon-pf6xf]

Exactly why 2 knights can deliver forced mate in some postions .
They need to remove that draw rule.

[@Shickelgruber]

No. They don't.

[@diamondgirly2126]

@@Shickelgruber ??? explain

[@Shickelgruber]

@@diamondgirly2126 You really think they should remove the stalemate rule? Like it will result in the removal of many tactics and hope of drawing the game for low level Elos after being down 20 points of material.

[@etl3nne]

you don’t understand 😊

[@samle9131]

One of those useless checkmate to know because it's as rare as getting a bishop pair checkmate.

[@realess8990]

I literally would've got this position if my opponent didn't blunder (so instead of only having 2 knights and opponent having 1 pawn, I had an extra pawn which helped me win)

I conclude Bishop's worth more than knight

[@sigmaoctantis5083]

And since KQ vs KNN is also usually a draw, I conclude that a queen is nearly worthless. ;-)

[@llamaelitista]

In endgame yes

[@Wa1lx]

2 bishops are better than 2 knights when a knight is better than a bishop

[@ArgonautXAria]

First and fire explanation as always sensei

[@theeyewhosees]

You were third I saw your comment come in

[@Near_Void]

You can checkmate with just 2 knights though

[@blackveganarchist]

Yes, but only if your opponent walks into it. You can’t force it.

[@evansgate]

I prefer to stalemate and loudly yell at my computer screen

[@kmarasin]

Is there a restriction on where the pawn can be? Are rook files okay? How about pawn past the 5th rank?

[@spideyMZM]

The pawn can be on any file. However, the game is a draw if the pawn is too far forward, and that "too far forward" point depends on the file.
Apparently, a pawn past the 5th rank is usually too far forward (irrespective of file), but the side with the knights can still force a win in some cases.

[@chesstroller]

It should be on second Troitsky line: a5 b6 c5 d5 e5 f5 g6 h5 (black pawn). However sometimes checkmate can be forced if the pawn passed this line. It depends on the position of other pieces

[@joshuahietala5174]

The pawn has to be on one of the certain squares for this to work. It also depends where your knights are initially. Sometimes it might be draw even if your opponent has extra pawn

[@isaacregi1901]

Bro that makes me want to cry and remember Jesus loves you❤❤

But why need jesus, God is omnipotent and loves us anyways

Hikaru Nakamura has a video showing Checkmate with 2 Knights.
…..so I think your video is false and misleading.
