Two Bishops
Part of the Basic Mates section of Coddy's Endgames journey. Lesson 24 of 26.
Two bishops can mate, but only in a corner, and only together: one checks along the diagonal that ends in the corner, the other covers the two squares beside it, and your king, a knight's move away, covers everything else. The finish is a picture, and the picture is what you must know.
