Trapping Rooks!

And the winner of today's most patronising sentence in a forum is (drum roll, please) "I don't know if you understand the position you have just described". Beautiful technique.

If the N moves it allows black to move the f-pawn and free a Rook

Ng8 does free the pawn, but too late. NxR next move.

I know this, please read all earlier posts.

That's why White takes on h5 with the Rook.

I didn't miss anything. The king can NEVER capture both rooks! And the knight move is so simple... so the talk about the king gobbling up the rooks was in error.

Did you even bother to look at the plan of Kf3 and g4 I proposed?

The point is that White is so control of the position that he may torment Black with a long K walk. OP acknowledged that the N move is faster.

Thanks again. Tormentation is at times fun, especially against an opponent that crushes you at the slightest mistake.
(Female canine) LOL.

Probably the same guy who allowed you to move the Knight.
