I thought Bishop + Knight vs King endgames was like Rook/Queen/2 Bishops vs King endgames, no matter what position you get, you can still win if it is your move.

They are forced wins if the opposing king can't immediately capture or step into a square immediately threatening to win one of the pieces if it is unprotected.
