Checkmate with two Bishops

Checkmating with two bishops and a king only is considered relatively difficult, since even intermediate level players have often difficulties finding the correct moves. Even though that type of endgame is not encountered too often, learning it improves your understanding of how to coordinate the bishop pair. Here, you can train that type of checkmate until mastery by trying to beat a chess engine in the below position:
