I checkmate with 2 bishops.
checkmate using pawns for ultimate humiliation to the opponent
4:54 i saw a draw rook b6 brilliant
Ladder's mate was invented by Johannes Ladder in 1563.
"You will never face this knight and bishop endgame " Me who had 3 draws because of this - " First time ??"
0:26 The two rooks (ladders mate) explaination is incomplete without showing what to do if the king ever gets close enough to take a rook :( . Without it, you can't call this "a complete breakdown."
What is elo?
As a 700elo i thought I was super intelligent and discovered double rook n bishop checkmate 😂
The king and pawn endgame should be considered more difficult than two bishops. There are several nuances and ways to slip up.
I can do king and room mate and im 400 elo
First checkmate is called ladder mate, can be done by 2 queens, 1 rook and queen or 2 rooks
1:07 What do you mean 1000 elo for a rook and king I knew it when I was 300 ELO by just looking to someone doing it without a tutorial. It's easier than the queen's one.
2 knights vs pawn, but pawn can also not be too far on the board yet, otherwise it doesn’t work. It’s also very risky if you don’t know wtf you’re doing, cause the pawn promotes. But this endgame is so rare…
4:32 blundered a draw lol
I get you teach me begineer to master
4:55 white rook to b6 brilliant move . King has to take and stalemate
1:24 OPPOSITION EXPUNGED
I am 500 elo and I thaught two bishops checkmate
3:39 I can do all before þis
Hardest for me are Queen vs Rook + Pawn (attacker side) and Queen + Pawn vs Queen (both side) and also Rook + Bishop vs Rook (defender side). btw I had Knight + Bishop one time in online game and it was a draw.
