Bishop vs Knight (Two knights tango)

Sort:
kamuimaru

This is a game with the Two Knights Tango that I think is a good example of how the knight isn't always weaker than the bishie (which most beginners like me originally though to be the reverse, a knight is always inferior to a bishop) although at the end of the game I bludnered and promptly resigned.

On move 23 should I have simply retreated my rook and did h5?

What about 23. ... Nxd2?

Hmm yeah, that'd be much better than what I did. Queen takes, nb3 fork. King takes, qb3 fork.

Although I am interested in irregular openings as shown in my two knight tango game, I'm not so much as interested In the hippo as this.

Apologies. I played a game today where my knight won over the bishop in end game. I got lucky. That's why I read this post

Actually one of my better games. The one vs billyframe. If you care to see a good example of horse over bishop
