I have a doubt... Black King with White King, Knight, Bishop: White can win the game?

Or is just a draw game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White can win, but it's very difficult and somewhat impractical to memorize. I've never had it happen in a game, and it will take roughly 30 moves to complete.

That should help.

I actually made a few videos teaching this technique, with more than just moves to memorize. I explain the setup from a bad position, and explain the objectives on both sides.
Enjoy!

Couple of comments:

This mate is extremely rare, because usually when you're two pieces up, you should be able to preserve at least a single pawn. The only time people I know have played in games with this ending is when one player deliberately sacrificed their last piece for the other's last pawn, basically saying, "I'm going to see if you know that mate, because you probably don't."

In terms of improving your results, working on your R+P endings will almost certainly pay more dividends. R+P endings are the most common in chess, and many people don't know how to play them at all. Learning a few R+P basics will save you a lot of points.

But there are other advantages to learning the B+N mate. Mostly, it teaches you a lot about how to coordinate those pieces, which will end up helping you see the board better, and pay dividends in your middlegame play.

Therefore, I recommend that you study this ending - but not too hard. Maybe once every couple of months study it for 30 minutes. You won't remember it the first several times, and that's fine: think of it as doing work on your understanding of the knight and bishop, your ability to visualize and see what squares pieces will control.

Good ideia, I will train better, ... was the first time I saw this incredible board!

It's true that you won't see it often, but because of how instructive it is to learn the mate by coordinating the pieces, you will see your middlegame strength rise.

I love the confidence I have in this ending. I should, however, spend more time on R+P endgames.

I recently lost this ending
