A knight can move one space like a rook in three moves, but two spaces like a rook takes only two. It moves one space like a bishop in two, and two spaces like a bishop requires four.

This ending is also worth knowing with respect to the color square a knight sits on. From Alessandro Salvio 1604. Black to move.

The OP left a month after posting, probably never realizing what public service this incredible thread is.

Took a few minutes to find, but I always saw the present thread as a reply to the original. Maybe the OP was blocked.
