Why?

Why was it drawn?

Why was it played?

Why did a 900 promote his Pawn to a Knight?

It is kind of funny though.

Being a horse youself - you should be able to respond - straight from the horses mouth (apologises couldn't resist) - how many knights (horses) would it take?

Incorrect. Three Knights and King against King, yes.

Four Knights can win without the help of their King.
