The eval of +4 shows they likely don't understand... Evaluation of +4 is usually a win and the opponent is not important. Some programs with no tablebases know that KNN vs KP is often a draw so they have no problem not to evaluate KNN vs KP as a big advantage for white. I think that it is a simple win that humans can win against every chess program It is easy for humans to see after Ne4 Kxc4 that white has more than one way to win(Nd2+ and Nb1 is one plan and a4 and Nc3 is another plan) The black king cannot take the knight because the white pawn is going to queen and the white king can go to take the black pawn and after it KNP vs K is a simple win. It is also simple to see for programs with the right knowledge and knowing that KNN vs KP is often a draw is enough. Uri
