Knight and Bishop Checkmate

Chess
Knight and Bishop Checkmate

Most players don't think it's especially important but it is...


As you have figured out from the title here is the challenge: Beat the Machine with the Bishop & Knight Checkmate!

These are the steps to manage to mate:

  1. Use your pieces (and your king) to make him reach the first or eight rank.
  2. Lead him to the right corner (corner of your Bishop)
  3. Mate it!!

Second step is harder than else two as it needs some special manouvres (Nc2-d4-e2-f4) and Bd3 if king goes to run.


Here is the position---> Can you do it in less than 38 moves?

Share your results, be sure when you play to already know the basics and have fun!
