Chess victory with only a knight on your side? 2012/01/27 04:01 Karma: 0  
With only a knight on your king's side, and the other player's king has nothing,
the game is immediately a draw. You cannot corner his king and win the game.

Impossibility of checkmate - if a position arises in which neither player could possibly give checkmate by a series of legal moves, the game is a draw. This is usually because there is insufficient material left, but it is possible in other positions too. Combinations with insufficient material to checkmate are:

  •   king versus king
  •   king and bishop versus king
  •   king and knight versus king
  •   king and bishop versus king and bishop with the bishops on the same color.
