Knight and bishop versus rook and pawn will always be a draw. That’s not impressive at all.

[@Me-fm9zk]

Lol, you both don’t know chess. It is not impressive at all. A bishop and a knight vs a rook and a pawn is not big advantage at all. The value of rook (5) plus a pawn (1) is just equal to the value of a bishop(3) plus a knight(3). And If he is that good, he would have beaten her easily instead of drawing against her. What do you know about chess?
