Is a King, Rook and Knight vs King and Knight end game generally a win for the player with the rook? I ended up struggling quite a bit to finish off this position against a better player (I had the knight) and I'm pretty sure he did not play optimally. I've not found much info of this end game. Is a King, Rook and Knight vs King and Knight end game generally a win for the player with the rook?
King + Rook + Knight versus King + Knight. Win? Yes!

My spontaneous thought is to win in two stages.


Catch and win the enemy knight or exchange knights.
Checkmate the enemy king


The first stage should be achieved by hunting down the enemy knight. The second stage is a K+R vs K checkmate.
