That's right. For example, if King must capture at a8(a Queen or Rook) and King is at c7 and Falcon can move to d6, Checkmate. We did not think of that properly yet. Thanks. So, since there are no such cases in OrthoChess with two Knights, the original sentence is wrong. And David Paulowich's revision is correct with *not*-- becoming different sentence that still can remain to distinguish Falcon's keeping slight value edge over those others(B or 2N) in (remotely-)possible end game. Thanks for pointing out couple of necessary revisions.
