I see what you mean about 4 knights versus a bare King, it's just that (in
my admittedly limited experience) the game seems to revolve around Black
protecting and then queening his pawn. With 4 knights as well as his King
at his disposal I have found that White's options for removing that threat
are not great and Whites pawns create a landscape of their own which can
work to Black's advantage in hemming the White king in with the knights. 

Regardless I'm ecstatic to finally get some history on this and I'm glad
we can have some proper accreditation listed. :-)
