I think you still don't get it. I am not talking about a single position, but about 228 million different ones. Namely all possible positions with this material.

Point is that if you hav King + Rook + Knight, and I have King + Ganesha, I will almost certainly beat you, unless it happened to be your move and my Ganesha happened to be hanging,or it is my move and you happened to have a fork or skewer on my King + Ganesha. In other words, if the Ganesha is trivially lost tactically, so that this is not really a K+G vs K+R+N ending at all.

But in a tactically quiet position, the Ganesha almost always wins. That is not bad for a single piece, to defeat Rook + Knight with overwhelming superiority. A Queen cannot do that, for example.
