| Two knights cannot force checkmate.
}}
The player with the lone king has to make a [[blunder (chess)|blunder]] to be checkmated. In this position, 1.Ne7 or 1.Nh6 immediately [[stalemate]]s Black. White can try instead:

: '''1. Nf8 Kg8'''
: '''2. Nd7 Kh8'''
: '''3. Nd6 Kg8'''
: '''4. Nf6+''' 
and now if Black moves 4...Kh8?? then 5.Nf7# is checkmate, but if Black moves
: '''4... Kf8!'''
then White has made no progress.<ref>{{Harvcol|Keres|2018|p=10}}</ref>

| Draw with either side to move
}}

[[Johann Berger]] gave this position, a draw with either side to move. With White to move:
: '''1. Nf5 Kh8'''
: '''2. Ng5 Kg8'''
: '''3. Ne7+ Kf8!''' (Black just avoids 3...Kh8? which leads to a checkmate on the next move with 4.Nf7#)
: '''4. Kf6 Ke8'''
and White has made no progress. With Black to move:
: '''1... Kh8'''
: '''2. Nf7+ Kg8'''
: '''3. Nh6+ Kh8'''
: '''4. Ng5''' 
gives stalemate.<ref>{{Harvcol|Guliev|2003|p=74}}</ref>
