Hikaru did this before, the opponent must've thought that she couldn't lose 😂

Now that is a poisoned pawn

@alexzhu4726 4 ай бұрын

The pawn is behind the Troitsky line thus black wins:p

One of those useless checkmate to know because it's as rare as getting a bishop pair checkmate.

I think it was David Bronstein who called this incapacity of the two knights "the great injustice of chess".

Exactly why 2 knights can deliver forced mate in some postions . They need to remove that draw rule.

@@diamondgirly2126 You really think they should remove the stalemate rule? Like it will result in the removal of many tactics and hope of drawing the game for low level Elos after being down 20 points of material.

I conclude Bishop's worth more than knight

And since KQ vs KNN is also usually a draw, I conclude that a queen is nearly worthless. ;-)

You can checkmate with just 2 knights though

Yes, but only if your opponent walks into it. You can’t force it.

Is there a restriction on where the pawn can be? Are rook files okay? How about pawn past the 5th rank?

@spideyMZM 4 ай бұрын

The pawn can be on any file. However, the game is a draw if the pawn is too far forward, and that "too far forward" point depends on the file. Apparently, a pawn past the 5th rank is usually too far forward (irrespective of file), but the side with the knights can still force a win in some cases.

It should be on second Troitsky line: a5 b6 c5 d5 e5 f5 g6 h5 (black pawn). However sometimes checkmate can be forced if the pawn passed this line. It depends on the position of other pieces

@joshuahietala5174 3 ай бұрын

The pawn has to be on one of the certain squares for this to work. It also depends where your knights are initially. Sometimes it might be draw even if your opponent has extra pawn
