do you guys know the bishop and knight checkmate?

I know, but don't know how to do it.

You have to drive the lone king into a corner the same color as the bishop. It's not that hard, but there a nasty little trick at the end, that most people would not spot because it is non-intuitive, you have to allow the lone king to escape from the back rank than drive it back.

K+Q vs K+R is be a forced win, but it is very, very difficult

This mate is very rare due to the bishop and knight not lasting very long in a match, but thumbs up for you if you did this mate
