When you mess up, gaslight

Nobody knows how the horsey moves anyway so...
- As best piece, horsey attacks all squares it moves through, because it's a horse and it's charging.
  
  Think, noobs.
  
  Is there a variation of the game like that? And that includes both sides' pieces, right? There is a case of making a piece too powerful for its own good.
I mean Tbf it is a checkmate in 4.
- The mythical move where you combine bishop and horsey into a queen?
  
  Knishop, yeah I've heard of the move. I believe it's just a legend though
  
  I thought it was a pawn :P
- That's a bishop, not a pawn, but regardless, I don't imagine that white has much of a chance
  
  This post is about gaslighting and I'm pretty sure, it always was a pawn. Always.
  
  Ok when the bishop is actually a bishop it’s checkmate in 19 instead so I suppose white holds on for longer at least?
Just put it in lichess and see how hopeless it's for white.

K7/2b5/1nk5/8/8/8/8/7b w - - 50 26
- Nah, white clearly has advantage here.
What you fail to see is, that the white king owns those two horses.
It’s checkmate in one. I’d probably resign and move on to the next game.
- yes, it's mate in 1 if you perform knishop fusion and combine horsey and bishop into a Queen on the white square next to the white king.
  
  Just move King to the one open spot diagonal to Knight, and the move Queen to the spot King just left.
