Queens vs Knights

[Nordlandia]

I recommend analyse such position with Komodo, mainly because K has queen redundancy activated. Stockfish does not.

[hgm]

It shouldn't matter much. Obviously Stockfish sees it has to give a lot of Queens for Knights, to make its score drop from +22 to +3. And it would always know that it is better to get two Knights for a Queen than just one, irrespective of redundancy. It would only be problematic if it would pass on the opportunity to get 2-for-1, because it thinks it can keep all its Queens. Only to discover later that it has a choice between trading 1-for-1 or getting checkmated.
