| Jul 6, 2016 at 8:56 | comment | added | Glorfindel♦ | No, I meant King + 2 Knights = 10 points, but not sufficient enough to enforce mate. | |

| Jul 6, 2016 at 8:38 | comment | added | Glorfindel♦ | Note that KNN = 10 is also an exception. | |
| Jul 6, 2016 at 3:04 | comment | added | Ariana | @jf328 Then maybe we could set K as 5 points, but then some pawnless endgames where a minor piece up is enough, or Qv 4minor piece | |

| Jul 5, 2016 at 16:11 | comment | added | Ariana | @jf328 Yes, without pawns | |
| Jul 5, 2016 at 16:10 | comment | added | jf328 | So it's 10 points or higher. Come to think of it, since K is ~4 points in strength, the traditional KBB/KBN is about 10 points. KR = 9 is exception. | |
