I think not yet - funny, IIRC Chess Tiger 13 was known for not being able to mate with knight and bishop... and now it has problems with two bishops ? I think this should be even found without any special rule about it at all... I think the maximum is a mate in 18 with two bishops against lonesome King. Anyway, it seems that Christoph does not like to code such simple endgames... :) Greets, Thomas
