If Crafty can manage to capture both pawns, even at a cost of rook+pawn
and be left KNN v K, it seems drawable.  I would like to see the
conclusion played out.  As a side point, I know how to mate with KBB v
K, but don't know any mating algorithm that is certain for KNN.  Does
one exist that is certain from any starting position?
