Didn't know how to deal with the rook vs. knight endgame.
Originally posted by Tyrannosauruschexyeah it was not fun and i got lucky too. but i think i came out of it with more of an idea how to kill the knight. get the king to the side and threaten mate with king and king if possible, or trapping the knight on the side but i didn't see a way to do that

Originally posted by TSaffleIt is always worth a go, if you can force the king right into the far corner you eventually get your chance but it is difficult to put it there and also possible to defend even then.

I believe (somebody will provide the link to this, I am fairly sure) that some strong grand masters got into that endgame a few years back and the knight player managed to lose it. It might have even involved kamsky but I dont remember for certain.

This has got to be the longest game ever played here - I challenge anybody to find one wih more moves.
Better yet, I challenge somebody to analyse it with a computer!
