Enjoyment is reduced if the rules aren't logically consistent. I hold that it is much more likely to mate with 2 Knights than for Black to win with a lone pawn against 16 pieces. It makes little sense to award a win on time in one case, but not the other.
But you're right,it wouldn't be fair.Anyway,if I get the opportunity to prove I can keep 2 knights at bay I'm ok with the rules as they are.I just didn't know about that.
