I was just wondering if against good play if two bishops and connected passed pawns vs. rook and bishop and doubled pawns could win or if they normally win.

General answer, the 2 bishops and connected pawns.

It really depends on the position and were the kings are.

I've seen 2 bishops dominate a rook and knight and some pawns. Absolutely dominate. It was amazing to watch.
