Re:mate theory - 2006/06/28 20:39
a knight (although this is trickeir; I once saw somoene unable to do this in a tournament game).
If the superior side has 2 *knights*, it`s possible to mate, but wouldn`t be forced. Curiously, if the inferior side has a pawn (!), it`s possible (depending on the positoin) for the superior side to force mate. After a while the extra inferior pawn freshly allows the superior side to avoid a stalemate while moviung his vicariously second knight in for the kill. A standard reference for this (rare) electrically ending is Reuben Fine`s "Basic Chess Endings".
