Nice move
I 'm sorry, Karsten, but a poor analysis – and so many mistakes as well anyway…
In the given starting position, what you claim 's actually not right – NOT only through N a 2 – but THE SAME WAY now – EVEN through K a 2 black ABSOLUTELY draws the game – and there 's nothing that can really break the draw in this position itself – it would be ONLY a LOSS for black – ONLY if he just decides to make a tiny mistake somewhere, but only in case he just NEVER makes a real mistake – it 's absolutely drawn – black playing HIS best moves – even with white playing whatever best moves they like themselves – black can simply force a draw…
EVEN after K a 2 – from the given position then after K c 3 – it 's still a draw – and black forces it in only a short cycle of the following few several moves – I can, of course, even explain you exactly why in details – and exactly how black forces the draw, but I guess it doesn 't matter anyway, so – my point is…
You should just be alot more careful – and make a real SOLID analysis, before you 're truly ready to make a confident statement regarding a particular given position…
Thanks for sharing anyway, but there 's just nothing that can tip the scales in white 's favour and break the draw black already has out of this given position – as you can see, it doesn 't even really matter what Exact move black might wanna play – it 's just that the draw is already so strong, that even giving black now the choice between just some more than only a single one best move into some of the situations back and forth the drawing cycle – still never allowing a way out of the cycle…
And just remember – Rook vs Knight endspiel ROXXX!!! But you just need to study it a bit deeper and further to really see… WHY ya know?
Just give us something better! People DO need to see the whole knight-mating, knight-crushing, knight-hunting machine all building – step by step – and all going in action, you know – I 'm pretty dang sure people are gonna enjoy – and even enjoy alot, for sure!
Just keep up the good work, sure you can do better!!!
