Emne: A wins against N+B?

Ed, what is the move list for how the Archbishop can win against the Knight and Bishop? It looks like a typical draw to me, due to insufficient material advantage. The Archbishop is unable to attack the Knight with a knight move, and unable to attack the Bishop with a bishop move, while each of these pieces often protect each other while preventing the Archbishop from gaining access to otherwise vulnerable squares. The two pieces have more chances to check the enemy king because of their separate locations, but the Archbishop is more maneuverable due to its unity of location. Looks like a toss up to me!
