K and N checkmate????

Yes. I get that. But my game I had just a K and he had K+N. So there is no way to stumble into mate and yet he won?? I had no pieces to trip over and he had just a N. So even if I tried to get mated I couldn't and the game gave him the win lol.
Toadofsky linked a game in #4. You had a pawn in that game. If you're talking about some other game, you should post a link to it.
Oh that was my game. LOL. I wondered why he posted that.
Ok I see.........I had a pawn so I lose. That guy was smart and busted me good.
HAHAH. He got me good. Yea I lost, I see. I remembered it wrong.
Very smart not to take my pawn.

It's possible to mate in K+B vs K+P so he could win a match in cooperation. The "helpmate" app. I think these are the rules on lichess and in Europe but in USA there are other some differences deciding about a win, that its not enough to have the full point when a win is possible but there must be a forced mate possible. am i wrong? How is it in USA chess organization?
The US - they‘ll never learn.

There are forced mates with K+N against K+P - for example mate in 14:



Where do you draw the line? Tell me, WHERE?
Draw the line at: K-K, KN-K, KB-K, KN-KB, KN-KN, KB-KB. (K=King,
N=knight, B=bishop). Also, you cannot win on time if you have only a King, a King and knight, or a King and bishop. (In the very rare event that you had a forced mate in such a position, you can ask an administrator to fix the rating result after the game.)
Some of those cases you mentioned have been a draw forever. @Nordlandia

So minor piece wins against R or P?

And in this case draw? Someone has to fix the result?

No, no and no.

Draw?

Yeah it should be feasible because it happends so rarely. It's not uncommon to flag someone in KB vs KN in blitz and bullet.
