Just dropping in. If you or your opponent ends the game with only two knights the goal is the corners. If you have the knights get your opponent into a.1 h.1 a.8 or h.8 and then checkmate them. if you dont have the knights avoid those corners and you cannot be checkmated!!

Avatar of ApostleArakos

here is an example. its black to move. white has positioned them into the corner as close as they can. BLACK MUST BLUNDER TO BE CHECKMATED THERE IS NO FORCED MATE. as long as black stays out of corners they cannot be checkmated
