Game 25

(25) Bishop and Knight - King
[,FFH]

Mate can only be forced in the corners of the same colour of the bishop and the 50 move rule applies so accuracy is at a premium. The technique is to drive the Black King to the edge of the Board and then to the right corner using the King and Knight to control the squares which the Bishop does not control.
