Master the 2 Bishops Checkmate!

Checkmating with two bishops and a king vs. king is one of the most important fundamental endgames every chess player must master — and in this video, I’ll show you exactly how to do it in a practical game.

I start from a random position on the board and play against the engine, explaining my full thought process move by move. You’ll learn:

♟️ How to coordinate your king and bishops efficiently
♟️ The correct technique to push the lone king toward the corner
♟️ The key patterns, triangulations, and waiting moves
♟️ How to avoid common mistakes that make the mate much harder
♟️ A simple step-by-step plan you can use in your own games

By the end, you’ll understand not just the moves — but the logic behind them. Whether you’re a beginner or an improving player, mastering this endgame will boost your confidence and help you convert winning positions with ease.
