"32 same color bishops wouldn't be able to checkmate the lone king."
Infact 32 Bishops v 1 opposite coloured Bishop would lose.
All of Black's moves are forced.

Hello!
I was thinking about this lately. 2 different colour bishops win easely. But is it possiblble with 2 same clolour ones? I had a good chance to go onto this situation lately, but it did not happened. Still I am curious. Something new for me...
Thanks
