Subject: How many Programs will keep the Knight by playing 1Nd4!

A knight is usually preferable to a bishop with pawns on one side of the board,
because a Knight can attack any pawn and can chase the king from any square.
Notice that the ability to go to any color is more important than the long range
power of the bishop.
