R vs B
black to move
if the defending K is forced to the edge of the board he should run for the corner not controlled by hid B so that he can block the check and set up a stalemate position
general rules
1.it is not possible to force checkmate with K and 2 Ns
2.but it would be wrong to say that checkmate is not possible- it can be done but only with opponents help
it is strange but true if the defender has a pawn in 2 N vs K there is a good chance of checkmate
the pawn is blockaded while attacker forces the K into a corner... and when blockade is lifted and the fact that defense has a pawn move removes stalemate chances
N endgame
N vs rook pawn
N vs pawn happens often so its good to know the draw method
