Knight endgames follow pawn-endgame logic more closely than any other piece ending, because a knight cannot gain a tempo by moving along a line and cannot stop a passed pawn from a distance.
Passed pawns on the edge are especially dangerous, since a knight defends the a- and h-files poorly. Watch for knight forks as the pawn promotes — they are the main tactical resource for both sides.
This trainer draws on 84 puzzles tagged with the knight endgame theme, rated from 400 to 2947 with a median of 1733. Every position comes from a real game in the Lichess open puzzle database, so the tactics are ones that actually occurred over the board rather than composed studies.
