How good is your endgame playing chess?

Asked by Paradox25 (10223points) June 6th, 2012

The following links will take you to an chess endgame simulator. This link will take you to a common endgame scenerio, king and pawn vs lone king. Here is another common endgame scenerio, queen and king vs lone king. Here is a less common situation, and a little more difficult than the former two, king and rook vs lone king. These last two endgame scenerios are much less common than the other three above, and much more difficult to mate with: king and two bishops vs lone king and the most difficult situation out of the five posted here bishop, knight and king vs lone king. Note: The links to these (and more) are already provided on the website.

All five of these endgame scenerios are situations where mate can be forced within fifty moves. Can you force checkmate in all five of these endgame situations within the fifty move rule?
