Diag. 48
As soon as the Knight can obtain the King’s support the game is drawn even when the King is already forced on to the edge of the board.
Position—White: K at K6, R at K5
Black: K at K1, Kt at QR2
1. R-QB5, K-Q1; 2. K-Q6, Kt-B1ch; 3. K-B6, Kt-K2ch, draw. In this case the King must avoid the corners, as the Knight would be bereft of his efficiency.
Position—White: K at KR6, R at KR4
Black: K at KR1, Kt at K2
1. R-K4, Kt-Kt1ch; 2. K-Kt6 and wins.
