Instructive Knight vs Bishop Endgame

This is the winning idea that wasn't played in HouseofCook vs Me, a game featured in my previous blog.  Discovering this in the post-mortem made the whole game much more valuable to me as a learning experience.  Enjoy!

    Thanks, Joe! It was a great lesson for me! When that game ended I had no idea that either side had a win. Great reminder of the value in spending time going over each game- win, lose, or draw.

    The original game was a draw because White missed the winning idea and when I looked at this endgame variation I neglected to change the final result.  I'll see if I can fix that...

    Thanks!

    Why was it a draw. If white could queen a pawn?
