Today we are going to analyse a really interesting endgame, which is two knights against a king. As almost all the chess players in the world know, a king and two knights cannot force checkmate against a lone king. However, we are going to see something almost like that.

It happened in a game played between Sergey Karjakin and Samuel Sevian in the Isle of Man Masters 2018 tournament.

Karjakin vs Sevian

Black to play

In the above position, Sevian played 52…Nxb2, turning it into a theoretical endgame and he was probably hoping that it’s a draw, even though it turns out that he was a little too optimistic.

There are a couple of tips and tricks that you need to know about this endgame whether you have two knights and trying to win the game, or you are on the defensive side. And that is exactly what I’ve explained in the below video lesson. Watch and learn! 😊
