so i rember seeing a video of a womans bullet or blitz tournment where time ran out and on the board was just a K N vs K N and the woman argued with the judges that the game was not a draw because there was still a mate that was techniclly possible even though it was not forced. and as far as i know she went to fide and they overturned the ruling and she got points. does anyone know what im talking about.

I don't know the video but this is the 4th question to come up in the last week about this king and two knights versus king question.

asserts that under FIDE rules, if time runs out, the material is deemed sufficient for mate but under USCF rules, because it requires bad moves by the weaker side, it isn't.

I think he means K N vs. K N, but its essentially the same question. there ya go bob, USCF says its a draw, FIDE does not. Good clarification
