This endgame goes to show the power of the Bishop pair but of course would have been interesting to play on to see how it turned out to learn how to play in that endgame
haha certainly would've been interesting to play on, however I think I'd also take the draw!
I'm a patzer of course but after seeing the last position I thought about Bd4+, probably doesn't work but just wanted to take a look here.
Some interesting lines but definitely a lot to ponder upon! 
Really interesting endgame: https://youtube.com/shorts/idtE-xadwpg?si=bojmOtNK5nxwLJFE
I had my first KBN vs K in a blitz game -- had a few hiccups, but managed it with two moves to spare -- I have to say that it was a great feeling of accomplishment. I learned it some years back but had not practiced recently -- and it was in time pressure. Perhaps this will encourage someone else to learn KBN vs K. https://www.chess.com/game/live/141736010144

That's crazy!! From reading your post I assumed you're maybe 2100-2200, then I clicked on the game and saw your blitz and bullet ratings! If a 1400 can do the KNB mate playing on the increment alone, then I really have no hope as a chess player. Sorry for the negativity, I'm just amazed by your play!

I could do it when I was 1200 lol

No, there's hope. These days with endless videos and tireless chess bots to practice against, learning and perfecting it can be done quickly, like in an afternoon. It's really interesting (and fun!) to understand how the pieces coordinate together controlling the squares, driving the king across the board, and finally forcing checkmate. So, go for it!
Guys I have a really sloppy endgame technique. Do you guys have any tips on how I can improve my endgames?

pls help me too whoever helps him my endgame technique is weird and sketchy
@DividingCart27 I just see this post a thousand years later, but this is hardly a good example of the 'sloppy endgame technique' you mention, since you did a terrific job as Black! Don't think your technique is bad just because you don't play the engine's favorite moves.
When I asked Coach Dane about endgame resources, he told me Silman's Complete Endgame Course has everything one needs up to master level. I already owned the book, which is also why he gave me this recommendation. Don't rush to buy anything! Here's NM Robert Ramirez's endgame playlist on youtube.
