Funky Chess Challenge
I don't think I've ever posted on chess before, so here goes: a chess puzzle:
“I saw an amazing position at the club last night.”
“I hope you can remember it better than the last one.”
“I can tell you that there were only five pieces on the board. White had a king, a knight and a pawn, while Black had a king and a queen."
“I don’t see anything amazing so far.”
“The amazing thing is that Black had a lost position.”
“I suppose White played knight check, forking king and queen.”
“Oh, no! The point is that it was Black to move, and he wasn't in check.”
What was the position?

You can look up the solution on chessbase.com if you so desire. I'll post it later.
