A bishop and knight endgame IS a forced win.
It is designed to stop endgames going on forever when one (or both) players have no idea how to end the game.įor example, in a situation where White has a bishop and knight left and is trying to mate Black’s lone king (a so-called “B+N endgame”) White may think he or she is winning.
