Hi,

In your mail (letter #8, 2005) you state that it is not possible to make a checkmate with a King and two Knights.

Is that a fact? I've always believed that in Chess everything is possible and a mate could be achieved.

Thanks

Dear viewer,

Our answer is still the same: "A combination of a King and two Knights alone cannot force a checkmate"

Of course, the lonely King can go into a corner and let himself be checkmated as shown in the diagram on letter #8. Below, there are two ways of practicing this situation:

On the first board, you play white and move first. You may try to checkmate the computer but be warned... this will never happen!

On the second board you'll play black and the computer will try to checkmate you. Just keep your King at the center of the Chessboard and again... this will never happen.

White to move


Black to move
