In contrast to a king and two bishops (on opposite-colored squares), or a bishop and a knight, a king and two knights cannot force checkmate against a lone king (however, the superior side can force stalemate [1] [2]).
Though known for his attacking play, Alexey Shirov produces "The best move of all time" [97] on move 47 of a quiet endgame to score a seemingly impossible win. [98] Tim Krabbe ranked Shirov's bishop-h3 move as the 2nd greatest move in chess, only being behind Spassky's knight-c6 against Averbakh in 1956. [99] 1999: Kasparov–Topalov, Wijk aan ...
