Due finali patti: Donna contro Alfiere e Cavallo

Queen special draw against Knight and Bishop

Imput the following two FEN code here:
http://www.shredderchess.com/online-chess/online-databases/endgame-database.html

This is well known:
FEN:
7k/6b1/8/4n3/8/8/K7/1Q6 b - - 0 1


But this came to me as a real surprise:
FEN:
7b/6k1/8/4n3/8/8/K7/1Q6 b - - 0 1


In italiano: l'Alfiere eunuco, castrato nell'angolo, riesce a far pari con la Donna, grazie al Cavallo...

Da cui potrebbe derivare un simpatico problema, Il N. muove e patta:
Black move and draw
