Hello,

Is there a stratagem of checkmate in this situation (White Knight & King vs. black King) or can it even be done?

Dear viewer,

The minimum elements required to checkmate your opponent's King are as follows:

(King + Queen), or (King + Rook), or (King + Bishop + Knight), or (King + Bishop + Bishop).

Thus, it is not possible to make a checkmate to the opposite King with a (King + Knight), or with a (King + Bishop) or (King + Knight + Knight).
