Teaching an absolute beginner how the knight moves is more difficult than teaching any other piece’s movement. For grandmasters, dealing with the knight is also one of the most difficult tasks — at least in endgames requiring deep calculation.
As per Capablanca’s Theorem, queen and knight are stronger than queen and bishop. Eray Kilic (Black) here failed to realize that trading queens was the way to draw the game. After 39...Qd7, Daniil Yuffa showed the correct technique to create a mating attack with his killer duo.
David Anton (White) here had an advantage thanks to his outside passer and his bishop’s ability to defend from afar. However, it turns out that Nikolas Wachinger had a way to draw this position. He could not find the right knight road, though. Can you find it?
In this double-edged position, the underdog, Ulviyya Fataliyeva (Black), had the upper hand against Alexander Donchenko. She, however, faltered by choosing the incorrect knight manoeuvre in this position. Black to play and win.
These are only three of the ten instructive endgame positions which you can study and enjoy in our dynamic replayer below!
