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
