I think this is a reasonably smooth mate with horse and bishop: https://lichess.org/GTExQw2u/white#215

After winning a not very remarkably game against a lower rated opponent he resigned on move 38. I wanted to see what would have happened if he would have played on, so I went to analysis board and continued the game against the computer, Stockfish level 14.

I relieved the enemy of all his pieces, sacrificed all my pieces except for a horse and bishop, and started to mate him.

I managed not to stalemate the enemy, and not let him escape. From the moment I was left with only horse and bishop it took me 30 moves to mate him, a bit less then usual.

Reasonably smooth.

Now I want to learn the endgame of queen against castle.

Success with bishop and knight against king	Eli Kesef

Good news. Ten weeks from Friday will be a pretty good day.
