Here's an amusing endgame I just played. Its interesting how well a bishop can bring an edge against a knight in the endgame sometimes. In the following sequence watch what squares are available for the white knight.

Ignoring the weirdness, (as I see it neither black's queen or f-pawn are actually there) which I didn't think was possible although I suffer from other PGN problems, 

 12. Nh1 Be4

13. Nf2 Bg2

14 Ne3  or

 

12... Bf1

13 Nf2 Bg2 to cover e4 and permit king's pawn hunt

14 Ne3.

 

I still think black has a won game, but white's knight is freeable.
