    Personally, I like 'A Knight in Capablanca' better (a night in casablanca).

    As Freddie said a rook is normally reconned to be worth 4 1/2 or 5 pawns and a knight 3, so 2 knights are in general better. I don't thing you had that much choice in making the exchange, but seemed to be doing the right things, bear in mind your opponent blundered his rook on move 42 instead a6-a5 with a plan of using the rook to support the three pawns advancing looks promising. You should try to get you kingside pawns moving to balance this, as you did in the game. In general I think that 2 knights is a theoretical, but tricky advantage, like 2 rooks over a queen.

    Well done in the game btw.

    I'm not your god, just the inner voice that tells you cheating is not good.

    Just kidding thought, I'm impressed by the small amount of time you take to create nasty traps.
    Will I ever eat your bothering knight?

    That is reassuring that you don't seriously think that I am cheating. You will never get my knight if I have it my way.
