00:00Now, what do we see in this situation?
00:04Black king is at the corner, and it's stalemated.
00:08So if we take this bishop, that's a stalemate.
00:12Again, black uses this mechanism.
00:14It attacks the bishop and tries to force the exchange of the bishops.
00:19So how white can, you know, avoid these stalemating motifs?
00:24For instance, you can move this knight from c7, protecting the bishop.
00:27Then it's an exchange, and you have a funny position.
00:31You have two extra knights.
00:33Well, technically, two knights could mate the king in the corner, but it's not a force mate.
00:39Unless your opponent is trying to help you, it's a draw.
00:43So black king can always escape, or it will end up with a stalemate.
00:49So what white can do?

00:54because black bishop will attack the white bishop,
00:57and the stalemate will be a saving mechanism.
01:03It's a miraculous escape.
01:05But if your opponent is trying to use a magic wand and to create a miracle,
01:11so let's think whether we can do the same.
01:14And we also have a trick.
01:16When opponent's king has almost no moves,
01:23it means that maybe we can create a mating threat.
01:27So suddenly, yes, we can discover a move, a very nice move, knight b6,
01:33which looks a bit odd because we put a knight on the square where it could be taken,
01:39both by the king and the bishop.
01:40But also we leave the bishop under attack.
01:43Now let's see what happens.
01:44If black takes our bishop on a four, then knight c4.
01:49I told you that two knights do not mate a king, an open board,
01:57unless...
