Apparently Stockfish finds the final position almost equal but humans probably prefer Black.

This is a famous game in which black resigned in won position. When he resigned he had the killer move Bg1: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1099222
He just didn't see it....

result or another but incredibly easy to mess up and get a non-optimal result.
K+2N vs K+P is one
K+2N vs K (e.g. no pawns) is another with a completely different
theoretical result from the first.
Even K+B+N vs K is often snafu'd with a result going over 50 moves -
not an optimal result but common enough. I certainly wouldn't want to
do that ending for $50 per game at speed chess speeds. Especially in a
bar which is where those kind of bets most commonly get offered!

I think I get K+B+N vs K in about 80% of the time right, but I need time to think about it. I wouldn't wanna do it in blitz.

I messed up not to long ago, an endgame with K+Q against K+N. Couldn't mate him. I checked it out afterward on youtube, and it is really easy, now it's no problem, but that game was messed up, a draw in stead of a win.
I also messed up not too long ago a K+B+N against K alone.
What bothers me is an endgame with K+Q against K+R. That's a mean one. I have to work on that one.

K+Q vs K+N is a terrible one to mess up.
Particularly if the clock is a factor I wouldn't fault anybody who
mucked up K+B+N vs K
There are a few K+Q vs K+R that can be held but very few though there
are plenty of 'fortress' type positions in K+Q vs K+R+P that are drawn particularly with pawns on the b and g files
