kco is correct. after e1=Q Nf3+ draws. It is more than very hard to give checkmate with two knights against a lone king. It is in fact impossible unless the king deliberately walks into it.
Also, if you don't understand the final position when it says you have solved this puzzle use the forward arrow to see why it is a draw.
nice
Very beautyful!!
This one is REALLY tough. It took me the better part of a half hour to solve. Good luck! The solution is really fun if you can find it: White to play and achieve a draw. The answer is quite a shock!!!
