The second position is a checkmate by the knight, with the black king on a side square next to the corner. The knight can be on other squares that check the black king. The white king must be on a square to protect the bishop and cover a square not covered by the knight. 9859: 9845: 9685: 9671: 9511: 9504: 9276: 9269: 9078: 8915: 8901: 8734: 8720: 8557: 8550: 8380: 8359: 8126: 7871: 7659: 7342: 7300: 7063: 7049: 6746: 6739: 6718: 6711: 6571: 6564: 6550: 6543: 6302: 6288: 6281: 6211: 6197: 6190: 6127: 6106: 5691: 5670: 5443: 5436: 5279: 5265: 5035: 5014: 4745: 4731: 4523: 4509: 4349: 4335: 3158: 3151: 3144: 3137: 3130: 2956: 2949: 2942: 2935: 2928: 2754: 2587: 2580: 2573: 2566: 1823: 1809: 1802: 1795: 1788: 1618: 1611: 1604: 1583: 1427: 1399: 668: 661: 647: 633: 428: 421: 400: 393: 253: 246: 232: 225: 7349: 7070: 7056: 6725: 6648: 6169: 6113: 5884: 5021: 3165: 2963: 2740: 2545: 2385: 2169: 1986: 1816: 1625: 1413: 591: 407: 330: 42: 9852: 9838: 9678: 9664: 9497: 9490: 9262: 9255: 9099: 9092: 9085: 8922: 8908: 8727: 8713: 8543: 8536: 8373: 8366: 8119: 8112: 8105: 7892: 7885: 7878: 7673: 7666: 7652: 7391: 7384: 7377: 7370: 7363: 7356: 7335: 7328: 7321: 7314: 7307: 7293: 7286: 7279: 7272: 7265: 7112: 7105: 7098: 7091: 7084: 7077: 7042: 7035: 7028: 7021: 7014: 7007: 7000: 6993: 6986: 6979: 6753: 6732: 6704: 6697: 6690: 6683: 6676: 6669: 6662: 6655: 6641: 6634: 6627: 6620: 6613: 6606: 6599: 6592: 6585: 6578: 6557: 6536: 6309: 6295: 6274: 6267: 6260: 6253: 6246: 6239: 6232: 6225: 6218: 6204: 6183: 6176: 6162: 6155: 6148: 6141: 6134: 6120: 6099: 5919: 5912: 5905: 5898: 5891: 5684: 5677: 5450: 5429: 5272: 5258: 5028: 5007: 4738: 4724: 4516: 4502: 4342: 4328: 4091: 4084: 4077: 3924: 3917: 3910: 3709: 3702: 3695: 3542: 3535: 3528: 3375: 3368: 3361: 3123: 3116: 2921: 2914: 2761: 2747: 2559: 2552: 2392: 2378: 2176: 2162: 2000: 1993: 1830: 1781: 1597: 1590: 1420: 1406: 859: 852: 845: 689: 682: 675: 654: 640: 626: 619: 612: 605: 598: 435: 414: 386: 379: 372: 365: 358: 351: 344: 337: 323: 316: 309: 302: 295: 288: 281: 274: 267: 260: 239: 218: 9832: 9658: 9484: 9249: 9072: 8895: 8707: 8530: 8353: 8099: 7865: 7646: 7259: 6973: 6530: 6093: 5878: 5664: 5423: 5252: 5001: 4718: 4496: 4322: 4071: 3904: 3689: 3522: 3355: 3110: 2908: 2734: 2539: 2372: 2156: 1980: 1775: 1577: 1393: 839: 585: 212: 10036: 10029: 10022: 10015: 10008: 9430: 9423: 9416: 9409: 7586: 7579: 7572: 7565: 5180: 5173: 5166: 5159: 4234: 4227: 4220: 4213: 3301: 3294: 3287: 1309: 1302: 1295: 1170: 1163: 1156: 1149: 13364: 10068: 3825:, which can occur on any edge of the board.

Under some circumstances, two knights and a king can force checkmate against a king and pawn (or rarely more pawns). The winning plan, quite difficult to execute in practice, is to blockade the enemy pawn(s) with one of the knights, maneuver the enemy king into a stalemated position, then bring the

There are also positions in which a king and a knight can checkmate a king and a bishop, knight, or rook; or a king and a bishop can checkmate a king with a bishop on the other color of squares or with a knight, but the checkmate cannot be forced if there is no other material on the board (see the

White can checkmate with 2.Nbc7#, but Black can play 1...Kc8 and escape the threat. The defender's task is easy – they simply have to avoid moving into a position in which they can be checkmated on the next move, and they always have another move available in such situations.
