I've just completed the following game - Game 2956174 - which ended k+R vs K+R+N. Clearly I played the endgame like a complete pratt, but can anyone tell me what the thoretical outcome is please?

But the side with the extra piece sometimes manages to win against poor defence. I once had to defend the ending against a GM who tried for 50 moves, but couldn't find a way to win and eventually conceded the draw - after 7 hours play.

perhaps best it ended with a mistake from me, it saved me hours!
