Body: <p>Is there any recorded official game in history where the king and three knights play against the lone king in the endgame?
  I know it can be a very rare case where in practice both knights stay until the end of the game and the other knight appears from the pawn promotion.</p>

Comments.Text: I searched ChessBase Mega Database 2024. I found 12 games where a king and three knights play against a lone king. However, most games were from blitz tournaments and all games appeared to be jokes. The player who promoted to a third knight could have easily won the game some other way.
