If the black king just runs to g8 ignoring bishops, I don't see a way to win for white.
Can you show me how can white win?

Stefano Gemma -> the idea is to use the second bishop to cover f8 then use discovery check by the king to give checkmate in the corner.

It's the problem of the webpage you use. Lomonosov android app instantly says mate in 20.
