I was on K1 with the rook. Meant to move to K2. Sorry. Still sounds weird with your knight. A file is a column, yes? I've got your knight in my Queen's file, and it's onliest tang in there.
OK dat's much mo betta, hang -onQuote:

You have to attack the bottom pawn.
Typed a detailed response to your questions in the previous post, and the board ate it. I'll re-do tomorrow.
For now, your move.

Try to keep him on a different color than the king.

You're right. Saw it and forgot about it. :stoned:
How about R>QB2 for support?
Rooks are linear but very mobil.Quote:

A knight attacks indirectly. And, in the center of the board they threaten 8 squares.
If on a black square, they threaten 8 white squares and vice versa
That allows it to attack a rook without danger of getting, well, rooked.
Thus a knight can threaten the rook and attack the king at the same time if they are both on the same color.
One MUST move the king.
Goodbye rook, or queen.
It's called a knight fork
So, yer either gonna get rooked, or forked, yah?
