Three bishops would be a freaking weird combination of pieces, given it could only be achieved by promoted a pawn to a bishop.
The textbook example of a won game that might take more than 50 moves is mate with bishop, knight and king against king. There are probably some rook and pawn endings that might, too, but there's too much theory for my brain to remember there.
[2] appears to be a floating footnote, but the situation you describe is common in blitz chess, except reminding is not required.
