1. This should be in "For Beginners."
2. Assuming you know how to mate with a king and queen vs a lone king, almost the same strategy applies here, but you have to avoid any knight fork tricks. One of the easiest ways to do this is by putting the king and queen on different colored squares.
3. You likely won't have to worry about this endgame very much. It's useful to study endgames, but knowing every single combination of pieces is not necessary.
Hi Bishop, thanks a lot for your reply. I can actually only agree with 1/, already apply 2/ of course, and fully agree on 3/. I however struggle to succeed 😣.
As soon as black knight has escaped more than 3 cells from his king close to the border it is easy to block him amd capture with king. But I don't see clearly how to separaye them.
Just found a very good video on it. Not the easiest mate though...
