I reached this position as Black in a blitz game tonight. 8/1p6/5k1n/8/4P3/5P2/3K4/8 b - - My first thought: "Cool, I've reached a winning ending." 5-10 seconds later: "Hmmm, I actually have to play precisely." 2 moves later: "Geez, this looks really tough to win, now." 5 moves later: "Well, at least I can give up my knight and draw..." At first I was annoyed with myself, but after fiddling around with the position very briefly with Genius 6 and Hiarcs 7.32, I'm not certain Black can win. Both programs give big positive scores for Black, but I'm not sure they are understanding the position completely. I'm too tired to do any real analysis tonight. My hope is that I'll wake up in the morning, and find the answer posted here. :-) --Peter
