White has a King and a Queen.
Black has a King and a Knight.
It is White's move. Can White win or is this ending a draw?

This is generally a win for White (unless Black's already forked the king and queen, of course.) White's king and queen can force the Black king to the edge of the board, and after that, either the knight is too close to the king to prevent checkmate threats, or too far to be protected by the king and gets forked by the queen.

Without any pawns Queen vs Knight endgame is a theoretical win for the Queen.
Actually, most chess sites that have checkmates practice offer this very problem as one of them, along side many other classical ones such as Queen vs Rook, Two Bishops, etc.
