This was the position I told you to imagine on move 82. White is within moves of being mated because it's breathing space is running out, thanks to my powerfully placed king, and minor pieces controlling the escape routes. |

The next step in mating, is to limit the king to two squares, sealed off by my bishop, and then complete a mating maneuver with the knight. |

Now that the king is limited to two squares, sealed off by my bishop, my knight does the mating maneuver. |

This is a hard mate to accomplish, but I had enough time on my clock to do it effeciently, and even some GMs have trouble doing this if they never studied it. |
