Theory/Two Minor Pieces: The W-Maneuver

Two Minor Pieces: The W-Maneuver

His king hides in h8, a dark corner. Your bishop runs on light squares, so it can never mate him there. Drive him to a8, the light corner. The rule on the back rank: your bishop guards the light squares, and your knight covers the dark ones. The knight's route traces a W: f7, e5, d7, c5, b7.
