00:00So bishop dominates the rook.
00:04So domination is an important trick,
00:07and I urge you to learn more about geometry.
00:10Sometimes it probably makes sense for you to look at the computer studies,
00:14where you have five pieces, six pieces,
00:16and just to understand how it moves.
00:18It's just to see that as many things can happen at the open board.
00:24No pieces, but miracles tend to happen.
00:28If you know how to create them.
00:38And before we move to the openings,
00:41let's do what I promised.
00:44Let's figure it out.
00:46How you can mate a lonely king of your opponent if you have bishop and knight?
00:51I trust you can do it with two bishops.
00:54Of course, you know you cannot do it with two knights.
00:56But bishop and knight, sometimes even strong players fail to deliver,
01:03especially in the time of trouble, when you play with increments.
01:06So let's just learn a quick and simple technique,
01:10because you understand the main rule.
01:13In order to win, to mate an opponent, to win this endgame,
01:17you have to make sure that the opponent's king is pushed to the corner of bishop's color.
01:21So if you have a light square bishop,
01:23you have to make sure that black's king is either on 8 or on h1.
01:31So in one of these corners.
01:34But of course, your opponent will try to run to the opposite color square.
01:42So let's say that black king is hiding on 8 and we have our bishop and knight close.
01:57Again, remember, you cannot mate.
01:59And I think that black king is Bo
02:16in court.
02:18Now, I hope I find you special moment,
02:21because it's my beloved brand.
