In the mate with
Bishop and Knight example from your problems
page, we reach this position at the 15th move:
4k3/7B/5K2/4N3/8/8/8/8. Next,
black plays Kf8 and everything works out pretty
good. I would like to know what will happen if
black moves Kd8.
Thank you for your answer.

Dear viewer,
The reason black moves to Kf8 is
very simple: black must keep away from any white long diagonal
corner square to avoid being checkmated by the white Bishop. You
can try this position below as if black had moved to "Kd8" like
you suggested. You have white pieces, move first, and should be
able to win easily.
