K+B+N vs. K was a key requirement in legendary chess instructor Richard Shoreman's classes up in the Bay Area. Richard and I went over this extensively. The goal is achieved with some key, easy-to-remember positions. Of course, with EGTB's as they are today, I would just say all of the computers should add as many of those as are reasonable. For personal play, it's simply a fun hobby, but an important skill too. It teaches you coordination of B+N. Your play with B+N in other parts of the game should strengthen as a result. Stuart
