I'm not quite clear on Fergus' statement on this game's page: "While it is possible for a King and Champion to checkmate a lone King, this will usually require cooperation, which may make the Champion as ineffective as a minor piece in the endgame."
Has this assertion (to paraphrase, mating with K + Ch possible, but not always forced) been previously confirmed somewhere? If it is true, is it as stated not the most normal case that mate can be forced on any reasonable sized square/rectangular board?
