Very nice puzzle. On what you said at the end, I think the role of the White king is essential. Say if it were on b3 instead of c3, Black would be able to force a draw with 2. ...Kf4 3. h5 Kg5, or 3. Be8 Kg4, or after any other move Ke5, reaching g6 or g7 before White can control both of those squares.
Me on all your other videos: "Stop showing which way the pawns go! It's always obvious, and the board is numbered!" Me on this video: "Isn't this trivial? h1Q"
Oh lord, I tend to be lousy at these endgame studies, and always approach puzzles by sight-of-board. But I’ll venture party in and say: 1. B-B1 (to free the Pawn should Black try 1…KN8. And Black cannot try 1…KxB because the Pawn gets away with 2 PR4. After that I’d think that White would go for the structure where the Bishop and Pawn are connected on a common light square diagonal - preferably as far down the h-File as possible, until the White King arrives and pries out the Black King. But how the Pawn queens on the “wrong color” square is a problem unto itself.
1. Safe bishop far away 2. Cover pawn 3. Use king to restrict other king's movement and calmly promote, even with bishop sacrifice, because king+bishop=draw anyways 🤔 Of course there can be more accuracy, but this quickly gets into this 20/80 time invest for perfection of gameplay. See, how often you would end in exactly that endgame? But a good takeaway: dont put your pieces on the edge of the board, to keep options 🤭
In that variation the Black king gets to h8 which is a theoretical draw with h8 being a black square and white having a white square bishop. No way to get the king out of the corner only stalemate.

I'm so glad you can show which squares are blocked. Really helped me visualise the reason for D7.
You always bring the best puzzles for preparaion and tactics. Thank you very much.
It's a matter of accuracy, any wrong move would cost him.

Very instructiv.

Nice, clever first move!
Very good
Yes, get that danged bishop out of the way, then it's a long drudge for the white pawn to win.
Doesn't Bg4 followed by Bh5 have the same effect as Bd7, Be8?
1. Bg4 Ke3 2.Bh5 Kf4 3.h4 Kg3 winning the pawn, or 3. Kd4 Kg5 and if white saves the bishop then the Black king gets to h8.
I hope it's ok for me to point out that TH-camr YourAverageChessPlayer also uploaded this problem, a month ago.
Also, his collection of tasks are taken by other TH-camrs. Often to mirror the position and conceal the composer! (Which I find is unattractive)
??? Bc8 then h2-h3 and white King go around to be in front of pawn to save it.

@@NADRIPmusic I see. Make sense.
