Rook and Bishop versus Rook and Knight endings
The rook and bishop superiority over a rook and knight with an open center and pawns on two wings is real in most of the cases and not just theoretical. But the final evaluation depends on a few factors.
With three versus three pawns on the kingside, White’s chances are optimal with at least two against two on the opposite wing.
White’s chances also increase if his optimal kingside configuration implies placing the pawns on square of the other color than those controlled by the bishop.
