Hi there.
In this example of meeting with the two bishops against King, how would we do this?
This is a bit trickier, is it?
But we want to shrink the kind of rectangle that the king lives in and we can do this by indisposition.
Bishop G5 So we're starting to build a wall against the king now, say King eight, as if the king's
going to escape onto the side of the boat.
But we want to make them over here either on HIV or AIDS.
We can play Bishop R5.
We've created a wall, a virtual wall with the bishop path.
And basically we've shrinks the rectangle that the opponents can can live in.
The rectangle is now potentially this rectangle.
So here with the bishops in place, crane, that wall, the king's not really escaping outside of that
rectangle.
That's to shrink that rectangle.
We're going to bring the king up the boards.
King be to give him seven king Seefried King Jesus, King DeFore, Camp seven say waiting around Kingi
five, King seven, now kinky sex.
So now we're starting to restrict the opponent's rectangle to only these squares.
Pretty limited.
Can't wait for me in the square as well.
But of the king of things, King ain't that he is going to be taken away now, soon after King desex
first key waiting move King.
And now we're going to really make the Kings rectangle just these two squares with this next move.
Can you guess?
Work it out.
Well, ideally, we can play Bishop D7, so the king only lives in two squares.
Now we're nearly there.
Kingsgate
Bishop ASX stopping the King and Efate King at eight.
And in fact, we don't even have the checkmate.
The King on the corner here.
The most efficient thing to do is Bishop 87 Check and Bishop six Samit.
So, yeah, the shrinking rectangle principle also applies when you have the bishop that we want to
kind of make sure that the opinions king is in a shrinking rectangle.
We have to create a wall, a virtual wall around the king so it doesn't escape.
So the virtual wall gives us time to bring our king up to assist and shrink where the king lives.
So the king currently lived on these squares.
That was the the kind of freedom of the king, the king's kind of prison.
And we kind of shrink it by bringing the king up the board.
And then the Kings in a really aggressive place can't escape requires quite a lot.
So actually, by by the acts of king, if in fact, if we look at this, the king one one on forsakes
now, you know, the king's being restricted find.
To these squares, and I'm we're taking out the eight square here, so the Kings now confined just to
these free squares.
So, yes, and now the king's only confined to two squares and now it's the chapel.
So, yes, there is a beauty to behold in these simplified positions how these pieces work together.
So the bishops are working together to deliver that checkmate.
I hope you enjoyed that and got some principles and a little bit more reassurance that you can actually
meet with the bishop here, but you might want to practice with a friend or chess computer.
OK, that's about.
