I'm not finished, however I first heard of this particular endgame and interested in more about it. With my approach I hope to escape with black. 2bc
Thank you very much!
I see. It's kind of hard to explain it with only text! I recommend you watching some youtube videos and then practising it against the computer!
Great! Now I see the difference! yt is full of Bishop Knight Checkmate videos. I'v watched one yesterday. So let's see. Kg5 has been redundant, because there's already a wall when the Knight goes out of the Bishof's way.

... well. I solved it, however I don't want to state I did it perfectly. Yet I had an idea on what I was doing at needed something like 22 moves.
Now my question is: There is no way for black if white watches out for stalemate, right?
And: How is the rules for a draw? It depends on the framework you're playing in, right? I heard of 50 moves, I heard of 3 similar moves. Where's some guidelines on this to find orientation and not pick a rule out of thin air?
Thanks for your puzzles, @eniolw. I'm enjoying it here and there a lot to be away from automatic online chess.
Oh, I would have insereted an !invest_vote without edit. Well, next time.
I'm glad my study and suggestion were helpful for you :)
No, the position is a win no matter what. Of course, there is still a chance for a player will spoil the win and force a stalemate, but in principle, there is no hope for the defender if a correct technique to win is performed.
Once you've got this material relation on the board: K + B + N vs K, you're forced to win up to the move 50 or earlier, because as there are no pawns and any other capture simply leads to a draw due to insufficient material, you're asked to prove the win in certain reasonable number of moves (50). In other positions, if you move a pawn or capture a piece, that resets the counter for the 50-moves-rule.
The other rule is the threefold repetition. You can't have the exact same position on the board three times, because that implies you've not made any progress and then it's a draw.
These rules always apply in chess regardless of the time control. Online chess websites watch out to comply with these rules. Maybe you could skip one of them in your informal games, but in general, you can't ignore them. You can find more information in the Laws of Chess by the FIDE.
Nice, thanks!
That's compelling. Thanks for sharing your insights and experience! !invest_vote

Oh nice, !invest_vote did it's best even though I edited the comment for inserting it. Well, I'm coming back again as I just discovered lichess has an interactive lesson on this porticular chess problem. :-) https://lichess.org/practice/checkmates/knight--bishop-mate/
Great! That one is good to practise, too!
