The Bishop kills 'em with 2 knights!!!

As you know, I'm not the best chess player on the earth. But I love the game. I won against the computer today using my knights. HHCF European branch leader Count Nestian KILLS me with his knights. This is the first time I won with knights. Its nothing dynamic like Kasparov or Ashley, but its a win I'm proud of.
