Same type of 7-pieces ending (K+2B vs. K + N + 2P) also appeared in games

J Pinter vs Bronstein, 1977

P Popovic vs Korchnoi, 1984

Which was won for David Bronstein and Petar Popovic respectively.

Here is also won for magor side (white) 7-pieces ending.

<52....Kf7 53.Kd5 Nf6+ 54.Ke5 Nh5 55.Bg4 Ng7 56.Bxa5 b5 57.Be2 b4 58.Bxb4 Kg6 59.Bd3+ Kf7 60.Be1 Nh5 61.Bh4 Ng7 62.Bc2 Nh5 63.Be4 Ng7>

Till now both sided played on best lines. Later white go on winning moves but not the shortest way, so 50-moves rule accepted.

Here is way closest way to win is - 64.Kf4 Ne8 65.Bc2 Ng7 66.Bb3+ Kg6 67.Kg4 Ne8 68.Bc2+ Kf7 69.Kg5 Nd6 70.Bb3+ Ke7 71.Be1 Ne4+ 72.Kf5 Nc5 73.Bd1 Kd6 74.Bf3 Nb3 75.Bg3+ Kc5 76.Ke5 Nc1 77.Bf2+ Kc4 78.Ke4 Na2 79.Be2+ Kb3 80.Bh5 Kc2 81.Kd4 Nc3 82.Bg6+ Kb3 83.Kd3 Na4 84.Bf7+ Kb4 85.Kd4 Nc5 86.Be1+ Kb5 87.Kd5 Nb3 88.Be8+ Kb6 89.Kd6 Ka6 90.Bf2 Ka5 91.Kd5 Kb4 92.Be1+ Ka3 93.Bc3 Ka2 94.Bg7 Ka3 95.Kc4 Nc1 96.Bh5 Ka2 97.Bd1 Nc1 98.Kc3 Na2+ 99.Kc2 Kb4 100.Kb2 Nc3 101.Bxc3+ (43 moves!)
