Bishop and Queen Mate Examples
Compiled by ChessCoachClark
--*--

Games are posted here that show the particular mate brought by a Bishop with the support and/or protection of a Queen.

I observe a distinction between mating patterns in games that could be saved under the same heading but for the order of the pieces involved. Also, I would not name a pattern by the superior piece first. My methodology is to name the mating pattern by the chessman that brings the mate.

Therefore, there are two separate game collections for what others would call the Queen and Bishop Mate in my work. There is an earlier game collection that I prepared for the Queen and Bishop Mate, then.

It should also be noted that there is a special case of the Bishop and Queen Mate-- the Balestra Mate, as seen on that ChessFox webpage. It deserves further research before commenting on it in detail here, but games with that mate form will be included here and pointed out in the headers as appropriate.

ChessCoachClark (CCC) originated this game collection in November 2024 and he updates it on occasion. This project is a work in progress, culling games from various sources, including several chess training books and personal research. The games are ordered by date (oldest first), not by importance.

Be well.
Be safe.
