Toxic player gets mated by Bishop and Knight

So this guy played the alien gambit against me, proceeds to call me trash for not knowing how to bishop+knight mate him, but I did it with 2 seconds remaining anyways. As a 1200 elo, kinda proud that I remembered it after like a year lol

I'm black btw I forgot how to flip the board

Nvm I did it

Wait you can mate with just a knight and a bishop

Yeah, B+K+K (I think) vs K works

B+N+K vs K I mean

1200s know how to bishop knight mate? in blitz? with 1 min left? are you sure you didn't toggle a little bit? very suspicious 🤔🤔🤔

1200s know B+N vs K these days? Time to quit chess.

I agree. I am not so bad either if I say so myself. Know how to mate with 2 queens

They don't know. Black played it badly, and won because white played it even worse, and was self-cornered at the wrong corner.

Anyone can learn it in like 5 minutes no matter what elo you are

#11 is correct, I learnt it like a year ago. Also my peak rating for Blitz was around 1600 or smth but I tilted

Thanks for spamming me with dislikes even though there are literally tutorials on YouTube less than 5 minutes with millions of views. The thing is, checkmating with B+N isn't hard, it's just nobody goes out of their way to learn it. And I can't blame them because out of almost 10,000 games on this website I don't recall having to use bishop+knight to Checkmate a single time

I always imagine people saying "toxic person" with spit dribbling down their thumb in their mouths...

That's an impressive finish, especially with only 2 seconds left! Bishop and knight checkmate is a tough technique to execute, and it's great that you remembered it after not using it for a while. It's also nice that you kept your cool despite the trash talk—handling pressure like that shows real improvement. You should definitely be proud of your 1200 Elo; it’s a solid accomplishment!
