Have you ever had a Bishop + Knight against a King endgame ?

If so, can you post the game, it's a rare ending and I've been learning it, I understand the W maneuver but I find it difficult getting the king and my 2 pieces and King to all line up with the opposite King to carry it out.

I had one in a casual game at my chess club but didn't notate it. Messed up once but was able to mate.

thanks, wasn't expecting many replies, it's a pretty rare endgame to have and execute, probably happens in less than 0.5% of all games ever played on here.

yeah i had it and most of the time when players get bishop and knight checkmate its either because of an underpromotion or a sacrifice of a peice after you promoted or got to promoting a pawnhttps://www.chess.com/analysis/library/ypkmV5Lkn
