The Hardest Checkmate in Chess - Can you do it with a Bishop and a Knight?

[@avinashsorab5026]

Maurice Ashley's commentary is so soothing to hear :)

[@owfan4134]

most chess commentators are just cold calculating robots, this guy is such a character lol you love to see it

[@pjayshah]

It is interesting to see how various elite players explain this ending. He definitely has his own way.

[@henryalexander7325]

GM Ashley might not say which GM messed it up but I know the comments will hook me up ;)

[@anatsusha09]

Great video. The chicken story had me dying...🤣

[@colingrigorescu239]

Maurice, I just want to say that I'm a big passionate chess guy, but to be honest, you make me love this game even more. I love your videos, you're so charismatic and you give this funny and philosophical taste... damn man. Thank you so much👏❤. And yea, after watching the video I'm like:" That's easy!"

[@bilbobaggins2401]

Chicken Bob story made me laugh so hard

[@KeithD305]

Great teaching

[@OfficialGilesMusic]

Maurice, you are an inspiration!

[@OfficialGilesMusic]

As a life long musician and performer... I gained rating points from hearing your harmony/dissonance analogy much like your philosophy class story and you hadn't moved a piece yet lol. Thanks.

[@manofcoal]

Just practiced this for 20 minutes. To figure it out myself. I'm coming for that GM title

[@inumakitoge1327]

[@trevo4415]

[@revenge9431]

[@ItzIzzyMizzy]

[@IrvingDaniel]

God damn this video is so good.

[@worrellrobinson1467]

Big Shout to Maurice from London all GMs have problems with this one as told to me by Sabrina Chevarnez someone you might know kind regards WF. Robinson

[@PurlingLtd]

🏁👑🎨 Great video Maurice!

[@Turalcar]

Imma let you finish but 2 knights vs pawn seems harder

[@eddiekorkis]

chess.com says this checkmate is a 1200 rating??? I’m at 1500 and still don’t know how to do it.

[@Midnightwards666]

I'm about 1400 and I can pull it off better than some grandmasters who failed it in very serious tournaments, and I can see their errors. Therefore, a 1200-rated player who has studied and practised this checkmate will perform it better than a grandmaster who has never paid much attention to it. Also, all my knowledge on how to do it came from this video, so now you're here, you have no excuse for not knowing how to pull it off!

[@ultimatechess2003]

@Midnightwards666 why you had to right a whole essay about it

[@renehenriksen1735]

Maurice Ashley, the toughest Black player in chess...

[@sergioortiz8219]

I like Maurice's analysis when he's covering live games, but good lord he's long-winded in these videos.

[@jayvondavis1558]

Maurice Ashley off da Henny?

[@renehenriksen1735]

He is what Angelina Jolie would call a Beastie...😇

[@LifeisA_Dream]

Thanks Maurice! Enjoy my channel as well!

[@dmaxpr]

Hey Sir Maurice, please do a video like this one for the King + Queen vs King + Rook endgame 🙏!

[@avinashsorab5026]

First

[@georgecheng4920]

This video could have been done in 5 mins... too much rambling, just get to the point, so many ads so much nonsense talk.

[@feaverofhell1]

He's a quality entertainer and a quality person. If you don't like the teaching style you don't have to watch.
