    My takeaway is: separate bishop and king, whenever all knights are on non bishop Color squares, take space from the opponent, whenever on bishop squares, use checks to force an extra move over the bishop (since king moves) to get the knights onto non bishop squares or on squares that cannot be simultaneously threatened after one move (pin/skewer/fork) (or take it directly against imperfect players)

    so acc to stockfish (i used the lichess engine on default settings)
    3 knights vs rook is a win for the knights by 0.1
    3 knights vs 2 knights is a win by 0.4
    3 knights vs 2 bishops is a win for knights by 0.1
    3 knights vs a knight and a bishop is a win for the knights by 0.2
    Note: you do have to play around with the positioning of the various pieces a bit for it to calculate these values
    also this stuff is super cool

    the idea behind the stockfisch is not that difficult to realize. you know you win three knights against a king and the solution is just to get rid of the other piece. and the deeper ones behind just how do I win the bishop and that can only be achieved by separating the king from the bishop. to put it briefly separate the pieces prevent the bishop from going to king and then trapping the bishop. All in all it was a very interesting video and I like the idea behind winning games in theory and winning them in practice.

      Two knights only sometimes win against king and pawn - whether it's a win or a draw depends on a bunch of factors like which file the pawn is on, how far advanced it is, whether it can be blockaded and where the kings are. Never seen any detailed theory on two knights against more than one pawn, but I'd guess most positions would be drawn - in order to win, you'd have to capture all but one of the pawns while keeping the last one blockaded far enough back to convert to a won position.

      @@JustAnotherCommenter What reason is there for the knight to be 3?
      By looking at endgame scenarios, we can construct the value for all pieces from first principles.
      Pawn: being the standard piece, 1pt. I think we can agree all other pieces are worth more than the pawn.
      As demonstrated in the above video, 2 knights can't force checkmate, whereas 2 bishops can. Therefore, bishop must be greater than knight.
      Since 1 rook can force checkmate without requiring another piece, apart from the obvious, rook must be greater than bishop. Now, there's a certain point line to force checkmate, if you're at or above that line, it's possible, if you're below that line, it's not. That line quite happily sits at bishop plus knight, since bishop and knight can force checkmate, so we can safely sit the rook there.
      You'll notice that aside from the pawn, I haven't assigned any values yet, but here's what we have so far: B>N, R=B+N.
      The queen has the movement capacity of a rook and a bishop in 1 piece, so we can sit the queen at rook plus bishop and then plus 1 to account for the fact that the queen only occupies 1 square compared to 2 squares for rook and bishop.
      So, the final formulas are: B>N, R=B+N, Q=R+B+1.
      If we set the knight to 3, as you've posited, then since bishop is greater than knight, it must be at least 4. This in turn puts the rook at 4+3=7 and the queen at 7+4+1=12. I think we can agree those values are wrong.
      However, if we let the knight be 2, this leaves room to put the bishop at 3 (tick), which makes the rook 3+2=5 (tick) and the queen 5+3+1=9 (tick).
      If we let the knight be 2pts, everything else falls into place.

    You can actually force a king in a corner with 2 knights, you just can't force a checkmate unless your opponent blunders mate in 1. You'll stalemate before you get to checkmate.

      No, i don’t think so. Any competent opponent would just keep their king on the other color and you can’t checkmate with your own king.

      You could fill the whole board with light squared bishops and its still a draw. Even if your opponent purposely forces themselves to the corner etc.

      nope, it is still draw by insufficient material even if you have 9 one colored bishop or however many more. Even if the opponent play completely bad moves they can't get mated.

    You can checkmate with two knights vs a king and a pawn. Only if the pawn isn't too advanced obviously. You have to block the pawn with a knight until the right time. You should do a video on this.

    @jujucasar2003 Pƙed rokem

    I think a cool chess change would be promoting pawns to kings, and u can only win if all your opponents kings are captured. So say u are white and have a pawn on the f7 and his king is on E7 and u have a bishop on H6. The opponent moves and checkmates your king. But u have the move pawn to f8 (promote to a king). The king on E7 is in range to kill your new king on f8, but the bishop on H6 is guarding ur 2nd king so ur opponent instead of winning with checkmate has to retreat his king cuz it is his only king and his king is in range of your king to be captured. So instead losing to checkmate u have 2 kings and his king is on the retreat.

  • @claytonbenignus4688
    @claytonbenignus4688 Pƙed rokem

    Checkmate by Rooks is a systematic process of controlling rank (or file) in front of the enemy King, assuming the opposition, and giving a check to push the enemy King to the wall for checkmate. An 800 Player can do it. I do not see any systematic approach for three Knights, only a nebulous general strategy. It will require a 2000 Player. As per Three Knights versus a Bishop, I see problems with the 50 Move Rule.

    • @IlluviumGaming
      @IlluviumGaming Pƙed rokem

      Only if they have a pawn you can blockade on their side of the board with a knight. You have to essentially force the king into the area with the blockaded pawn, abandon the blockade to create what would otherwise be a stalemate, but since the enemy pawn can advance instead of stalemate you can position your pieces to checkmate. Without the blockaded pawn, you can never force them into a situation where they have no escapes without also letting them stalemate. To avoid stalemate, you have to create a hole, which lets them continue indefinitely.
