Yes you can, the key is to maneuver the enemy king in a corner that is of the same color as the bishop. Only this way can you force mate

Yep. Set up a game against your computer chess game and then give yourself a knight, bishop, and king, and give your opponent a lone king.

It is VERY difficult to find checkmate. It takes lots of moves to manuever the enemy king exactly where you need him. But it's fun to try!

yeah, it is very difficult but the likelihood to have such a position on the board is less likely then winning the lottery (so don't worry if you're unsuccessful 😉
