checkmate with bishop and king
Sort:
Nxg6! is much stronger than Ng8!? as shown by Bobby Fischer in his heydays!
the only way to make a checkmate is with 2 bishop, it's imposible with one bishop

I've just realised a lone queen cannot checkmate a lone king. All pieces need help to checkmate.
Yes, your king needs to help in that checkmate

what about knight vs bishop checkmate
Also cannot. Bishop + Knight on same side can but never when they are the only piece left on the board with their king... here is how I practice Bishop + Knight End-Game Check-Mate...
K+B vs K+N can continue playing since checkmate is technically possible (by either side) even though it cannot be forced. If one of the two players flags then FIDE would almost automatically assess a loss (though not with While having Kf8/Ng6 while Black flags with Kh8/Bh7 since the only legal move Black has requires capturing the Knight and eliminate any chances for White to deliver checkmate) while USCF would only assess a loss if a checkmate could be forced.
It’s not easy, but can be done. It takes patience and precision

you can't checkmate with 1 bishop and 1 king
or 1 knight and 1 king
Ä°mpossible man
I think maybe
Seven years have passed. We still don't know whether the OP wanted to write "bishop and knight" or not. And the thread is somehow still going on.
If it ends up to one bishop and a king left, the game would end by insignificant material however if there were two bishops, there is a checkmate you can do.
