rolling knights
Compiled by trh6upsz
--*--

These things can be deadly, and I really like watching them. This is what makes the knight pair stronger than a bishop and a knight in my opinion, although I agree the bishop pair is strongest in open game.

Alekhine vs A Aviles, 1932 
(B07) Pirc, 42 moves, 1-0

(C05) French, Tarrasch, 17 moves, 1-0

These dont roll in the strictest sense
