Rook+Bishop vs Two knight endgame

I looked some positions and I'm sure this endgame is theorical winning always

key idea is push black pieces bishop corner and not exchange pieces
black is losing ıf white king not at corner
black try hold his pieces at center
put your bishop at long diagonal and zugzwang
also cut black king and ıf your pieces active it's good
it's so rare endgame
Some of the wins seem to be beyond 50 moves. You decide if you consider this won or drawn.
@paranoyaksabunu Checked with endgame tablebase. Position presented is a tablebase win with DTZ 388 (without pawns on board this equals mate in 388). Same position with black to move is a draw
@KaMaTwo (DTZ 388 halfmoves ) longest mate position white king near to corner ıf at a1 draw by perputal checks ideas if you look at result a lot of positions white wins
6k1/5nn1/8/8/8/8/8/4RBK1 w - - 0 1 at this position Bd3! black king is trapped and not at black corner
white need use his king
after Bg6 coming
If black plays precisely, its draw i think(due to 50 moves rule)
