1. Ke6 Bxg5 2. d5+ kd3 3. d4 Bxh4 (Ke4 not avalible beacause he need to keep an eye on queenside pawns) 4. Kd5!
I think it is winning for black from here beacause: 1. The white king get forced back to defend from queening or to the queenside to protect for more passed pawns.
2. The bishop on c7 gets to d5 to protect agianst whites passed pawn
3 At this point black has gained more space and more play for his dark square bishop then the opponent.
Solve the challenge below:
Diagram 9.3- In this endgame it's white's move, and black is up three pawns. A closer look shows that two pawns are weak and will require constant protection by black’s pieces (g5 and b6), so black’s pieces are tied down. All that’s left for white to do is to blockade the central pawns’ advance, and there will be no progress for black and no chance for a win. Therefore, a practical draw arises after Kd5!
Challenge: Is this still a draw if it’s black’s move in the given position?
