At 3:16 if Kc2 (instead of Nc5), Then ...Rd7 c8Q Rc7+ and white king cannot protect c5 square after his next move. So, if white avoids stalemate, black can play Rc5, preventing Nf5# and white should be lost, not won.

@sheepwshotguns black simply takes the h5 pawn and then sacrifice his bishop for the c-pawn and then he got a draw savely.

Good video. You should have explained why at 3:16 White moving knight to C5 was the best move. At 3:16 White moving King to C2 looks much more natural and will still win according to the reasoning in your video after black responds with rook to D2. Although I can see why knight to C5 avoids the complication and also allows white to have a queen sooner, hence being the better move.

thanks for sharing

if king takes rook bishop takes pawn and the other pawn will be picked up by the king if necessary the bishop will sacrifice itself to top pawn queening an you are then left with king and wo pawns against king and knight and black will be very lucky to draw
