My understanding is that KBN vs. K can win in under 50 moves from any
starting position except those where the lone King can immediately capture
the Knight or Bishop.  If my memory's not too crazy, I think the maximum
number of moves required is somewhere around 30-35.  It can be done in 50,
but there's often not much room for error.
