After 40 years of tournament chess, I can imagine a lot of positions. For example: WHITE K(a1) and B(d3), BLACK K(a3) and N(d2), followed by the moves 1.Bb1 Nb3 checkmate. Conclusion: Rule 3 of Showdown Chess does not forbid the endgame K+B versus K+N.

Fergus Duniho used the word 'recursive' in an earlier post. Which raises a host of additional questions.
