This can create a passed pawn for him, but also for you. You have a knight to cover his pan, but he doesn’t. Also your king is on the other side to attack the other pawns.
In any case, the most drawish endings, after opposite-coloured Bishops e
the Knight is inferior to the Bishop when the board is empty.
what are the knight dumb squares?
The piece whose mobility suffers a serious reduction as it moves far from the centre is the Knight; in the centre, a Knight dominates 8 squares, which are reduced to just 2 (a 75% loss) at the corner and 50% on most squares on the edge of the board. Special attention should be paid to the square diagonal to the corner (g2, b2, g7, b7) where the Knight just dominates 4 squares as well; this is an especially unfortunate spot for a Knight, as we will see throughout the book, and for that reason we will call it ‘the Knight’s dumb square’.

One thing that stands out is that the Knight needs 4 moves to go from a1 to b2 (the dumb square), and also 4 to reach the other end of the board. We can also see that the Knight always needs an odd number of moves to reach a different-coloured square, and an even number to reach a same-coloured square.
King multipe routes?
-It takes him 7 moves to move from one end of the board to another (also, from one corner to another) .
-one of the most interesting features of the King’s mobility is that he can usually choose among many different routes to reach a distant square
-the more diagonally he has to go, the narrower is his choice.
-he influenceof this feature in practical play is tremendous: when the King has a clear goal, such as reaching a concrete square, this ability allows him to choose among different routes playing dual-purpose moves.
