Hello, Scott!
 Bad news here: 2 Knignts can not mate lone King... You may have found some
positions where 2 N mate King+Pawn; not sure what is longest mate there, but
there are (KNN vs KP) positions where definetely more then 50 moves without
progress (moving a pawn or capture) is needed. As I remember fide adjusted 50
move rule for this case (and some others) and allows now 150 moves with no
progress for KNN vs KP (correct me if I am wrong here).
