00:00What white can do? So it seems that, you know, the white is desperate because
00:05black bishop will attack the white bishop and the stalemate will be a saving mechanism.
00:13It's a miraculous escape. But if your opponent is trying to use a magic wand and to create a miracle,
00:22so let's think whether we can do the same. And we also have a trick.
00:27When an opponent's king has almost no moves, it means that maybe we can create a mating threat.
00:38So suddenly we can discover a move, a very nice move, knight b6, which looks a bit odd because we put a knight
00:46on the square where it could be taken both by the king and the bishop. But also we leave the bishop under attack.
00:53Now let's see what happens. If black takes our bishop on f4, then knight c4. I told you that
01:01two knights do not mate a king, an open board, unless unique positions created. So black didn't have time
01:13to escape. So it's a mate. And it's a very nice mate. So two knights and the king and the bishop
01:19plays no role. Now let's see what else black can do. They can take this knight with the bishop.
01:28But suddenly we open the diagonal for our bishop and it's another mate because bishop on b6 blocked the only square
01:39for the escape. Now the only remaining move is to take the knight with the king. And now
01:48we have our double attack. Knight d5 check. It's a fork. And then after king c5, we just take the bishop
01:56with the knight. Bishop and knight.
