Hi.

It is possible to force checkmate in KNNN vs K. It is not very difficult. In fact, it is much easier than KBN vs K. You can try and have your fun with with.

Yes, a triple knight checkmate is theoretically possible in chess, though it is an extremely rare occurrence due to the positioning and movements of the knights. In a triple knight checkmate, three knights work together to corner the opponent's king in such a way that it cannot escape. Pulling off this maneuver requires precise coordination of the knights' movements and strategic planning. It's a fascinating and challenging scenario to achieve on the chessboard!

Hi.

This sounds like a ChatGPT answer!

It is rare simply because knight promotions are not frequent, and even less likely is that the player keeps the original two knights when promoting the pawn to a third knight.

Triple knight and double knight can lead to calm or aggressive checkmates.
