Finish of the knight-centric game.
If you're curious as to why the knight could not have been captured in the previous post, it's because that couldn't have been done without exposing the King to getting taken out by my Queen. The rules of chess simply don't allow players to make moves like that, a fact that at once makes chess frustrating and fantastic.
