Amusing Endgame with a trapped knight

Sort:

Here's an amusing endgame I just played. Its interesting how well a bishop can bring an edge against a knight in the endgame sometimes. In the following sequence watch what squares are available for the white knight.

you realize how many illegal moves were made?!

uh yeah, its glitching isn't it. ignore the black queen and the pawn on c7

Ignoring the weirdness, (as I see it neither black's queen or f-pawn are actually there) which I didn't think was possible although I suffer from other PGN problems, 

 12. Nh1 Be4

13. Nf2 Bg2

14 Ne3  or

 

12... Bf1

13 Nf2 Bg2 to cover e4 and permit king's pawn hunt

14 Ne3.

 

I still think black has a won game, but white's knight is freeable.
