Mate with two knights

Whether the position is winning or not depends on where the pawn is blockaded. It's different for each file (although symmetrical a-d vs. e-h files). Assuming that the pawn is blockaded far enough back. I'd say converting the win is roughly as difficult as mating with K+B+N v. K. I wonder what percentage of players are able to do this? As a wild guess I'd say ~10% of regular players.

Game 4103249 I recently played this game where I reached a
K + B + N + 3 pawn vrs K + N + 3 pawn and I won the opposing knight at the expense of enough time for the opponent to trade off two of his pawns for three of mine. At that point I created a blockade to eventually win his pawn and he didn't force me to prove the win. Very very wierd. We have tons of threads about when to resign... let me tell you, this is not one of them.
