I'm sure that I heard that GM Colin Mcnab won this endgame a few years back (although that might be me misremembering )

I may be misremembering also, but I think his opponent's (John Shaw?) flag fell and Colin was awarded a win as he could demonstrate that the remaining pawn was within the 'Troitzy line' which allows the 2 knights to force a win?!

What I liked about this version was the pretty extensive analysis. Well worth playing over -- slowly
