I just got this strange checkmate position -
Game 2668634
It was so unusual that I almost didn't believe it was checkmate. What have you guys got?

32. ... Nc6 looks good enough to save the game for black.
Knights can be devastating at times.

I think I'd probably reply to that with Rb5, Nc6 is definitely the move I expected though.

If white's rook gets played as CMS suggested, then it may get tied up inbetween pawns, making it a little redundant. Black's rook value would become far higher.
If the knight goes right, it would also have a lesser value.
For me, the battle would be around the b-pawn where black has the advantage of having the king in the right place.
White for me also, but I think black has one chance.
