Why did Gandalf let go and fall off the cliff? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Also, if I remember correctly, Gandalf did not know it was a balrog until Legolas says that it is. Initally he just knows that he 'has met his match', although by the time he falls, he does know.
My point is, if he did not even know what it was, how could he be assured of victory?
