Rules of Chess: The 50 moves rule. Answer to a frequently asked question on the rules of chess.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]Good article, but the author fails to mention an important note regarding the mate with 2 knights and a bishop. If the king were to take the bishop in the example provided, the count would indeed start at 0, but it would be impossible for white to mate with the 2 knights alone. The author states that white would have another chance at mate, but given the position, he would not after his bishop is captured. A minor distinction, but an important one.
