Dec-03-05  Saruman: 92.Ne4 is an important step, as well as 96.Bd6. By memorizing these two patterns it becomes much easier.

  Honza Cervenka: <as well as 96.Bd6> I think that 96.Nc4 would be somewhat easier for white: 96.Nc4 Kd1 (or 96...Kb1 97.Bf4 Ka2 98.Kc3 Kb1 99.Kb3 Ka1 100.Be3 Kb1 101.Na3+ Ka1 102.Bd4#) 97.Bg3 Kc1 98.Bf2 Kd1 99.Nb2+ Kc1 100.Kc3 Kb1 101.Kb3 Kc1 102.Be3+ Kb1 103.Nc4 Ka1 104.Bf4 Kb1 105.Na3+ Ka1 106.Be5#

  fredthebear: I agree with Honza using the "W" method. The knight leads, the bishop trails, the advantaged king strives for the opposition.

This surprising unknown put the bishop on the frontside of his King but made it work: https://chesschest.com/how-fast-can...

IMHO, do not rehearse Pang's example. Follow Kosteniuk's "W" method from end to end below.

Kosteniuk mates with ease under time pressure but missed gaining the king's opposition allowing the Black king to turn the double corner. She self-corrected so well gaining the opposition a move late that it does not even appear to be a mistake: https://chesschest.com/kosteniuk-ha...

Nurgaliyeva finds the bishop's waiting move and has no problem in a much different type of finish: https://chesschest.com/how-to-check...

Novice players need not learn this K-B-N mating pattern. They need plenty of repetition on the simpler, more common checkmates (as well as typical stalemates and perpetual checks). So many newbies are deflated when the queens come off the board -- they only have confidence checkmating with the queen! Make certain newbies know the mating methods using a rook-and-helper, such as Anderssen's Mate, Arabian Mate, Hook Mate, Ladder/Lawn Mower Mate, etc. Common checkmates must be steadfastly practiced if one hopes to achieve such in a game.
