Mating with 2 N is impossible unless your opponent has a P when in certain circumstances it is possible but extremely difficult even for a GM.
MAting with 2 N isn't impossible it can't be forced. If the other side slips up you can mate him without any other material need to be present in the board. So if the guy with 2 NN thinks that there is that possibility let him play on.
Somehow we are thinking that this thing isn't forced but end up writting can't be made. 😕

With all the time in the world it is a draw so I wouldn't waste time trying but if time is an issue (especially OTB) play on as there is nothing to lose and a win on time is possible as a mating position exists.
