I was looking through some of my older games and found this one. The final position is one where everything just happens to be in just the right place for it all to work. Just thought I would share it.

Game 635147

nice play of the caro-kahn. I like you you decided the knight more powerful than the rook in that closed end-game position

Thanks. Actually, it wasn't so much that the knight was better than the rook. It's that the rook is about to be trapped. It can't even get free by Rxb5 because of Nxd4+. Over the next few moves I'd maneuver my king and knight around in postion to take the rook.
