Does anyone know how to checkmate with two knights versus pawn?
How did you learn? Do you know any good tutorials? Because I haven't found any good ones on youtube. What I know so far is that you have to blockade the pawn with on knight and use your king and the other knight to push the king into the corner, and then you release the blockade and checkmate. But usually in the chess.com drill the black king always slips away. Sometimes I can get to a position where the computer sees a checkmate, but I can't checkmate on my own. Also, I never know when it's safe to release the blockade. Could you help me?

Set up random positions in an chess engine, and play them out til you learn it.
Should I play against the computer trying to checkmate, or the computer trying to checkmate me?
Ok. But I also know that some positions are impossible to checkmate, and they will be a draw. Did you take this into account while doing this?

This is all part of the learning process.

He is giving you extremely bad advice, watch a video or two on it, doing it by yourself, while effective, will take forever.

Nothing wrong with watching a good quality video. But i prefer people to try and learn on there own first. As opposed to having the answers spoon fed to them.
Whatever educational method you choose, don't forget to prepare an exam for yourself (or find one) to verify you attained the skills you are looking for. As they say in the UK: the proof of the pudding .....

Grandmaster's personal challenge to get the two knights endgame as many times as possible in a row. My record so far is three in a row. I posted links to the games.
GriffithChess2 I haven’t found any good videos on the subject.

Err, there's literally thousands of different RP vs R positions. You made it sound like it's a unique endgame.

You cannot checkmate with two knights and a King unless you get the opposing King in a corner.

Not even then. Only when you make an error on the very last move you can be checkmated. Play as stupid as you like but calculate 1 move ahead and you will survive.
