In dealing with situations such as K+N vs K+B, I cannot imagine the
position in which the K+N mates, and the K+B mate would be hard to
achieve. I forsee a bigger problem being a K+R vs K+R endgame.

One solution to this problem is to exclude some multi-piece endgames as
illegal position. This would make the game more complex, as tactical
exchaning sequences would have to be evaluated for their legality. This
could make the game more interesting on one hand.
