Default Kn+Rook's pawn vs Kn

I ended up in unusual ending last night and we drew the game. Is there a way
for white (with the pawn) to win with correct play from Black?


Some K+N+RP vs K+N positions are wins for the side with the pawn, some
are draws. It's hard to tell without seeing the actual position.

You can use the Nalimov Tablebase Server to check out the position in
question. If the position has 3, 4 or 5 pieces, it will tell you if a
win is possible, and if so how many moves to mate.
