END GAMES, L—If White is reduced tothe King only black can now (1) always checkmate with King and one Rook.
(2) always stalemate with King and one Knight.
(3) always stalemate with King and one Pawn if the Pawn is not on White's base line but must draw if the Pawn is on that line.
(4) only draw with (a) King and one Cannon (b) King and one or two Bishops (c) King and one or two Queens.
The first and last cases are so clear as to need no demonstration. The second case, King and Knight versus King is more interesting. The situation at which white is stalemated is White: King on 4i for 63.)
Black: King on middle lo (5a, Sh, or be), Kt on 2i [or 8.]
