KNNK is effectively a draw in almost all cases but not a draw by FIDE rule since there are mate-in-1 positions, always caused by a blunder.Luis Babboni wrote:Fixed.Luis Babboni wrote:This link do not said king + 2 knights vs king is tie but it isLuis Babboni wrote:Is this table correct?:

White plays 1.Ne7+ or 1.Nh6+, and if Black replies 1...Kh8?? instead of 1...Kf8 then it is a mate-in-1 position.
If you really need a rule for KNNK then a rule of thumb like the following might help: it is a draw if the side with the lone king is to move, or if the lone king is not in a corner, or if the distance between both kings is greater than 2, or if the side with the knights (is to move and) can't give check.
