The ultimate goal in chess is to checkmate the opponent’s king. In case the opponent has only the lone king left on the board, there are four fundamental checkmates that can be applied to force a checkmate with a minimal amount of material.

The four possible mating cases involve:

#1 - King & Queen vs King
#2 - King & Rook vs King
#3 - King & 2 Bishops vs King
#4 - King, Bishop & Knight vs King

In this video, IM Alex Astaneh, is going to show you the third fundamental checkmate which involves the king and 2 bishops against the lone king.

If you didn`t watched the first two fundamental checkmates, here are the links:

The idea of the checkmate with a king and 2 bishops against the lone king is very similar to the outer checkmate. You have to force the lone king to any corner of the board or to a square next to it and deliver checkmate with one of the bishops along a diagonal.
