Is there a possible win for that? We chalked it down as a draw
I'm curious if I was stupid and should have kept playing.. I couldn't think of a spot on the board that I could get mate..

I guess it was a forced draw,no way for white to promote and keep the queen.
Black would have sacrified the bishop and then it would definitely be a draw.

white's 44th move was A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!!!!!!!!! LEAVE THE PAWN AS IS!!!!! HERE'S THE EASY, HILARIOUS, AND REMARKABLE WAY WHITE WINS:

Move the King on white squares to a DOMINATING position in the middle of the board. It's safety is no problem since it's the endgame, it'll simply add your other pieces. Eat all his pawns or trade pieces and the king will have the game won due to the two passed pawns. If you want an actual move by move analysis let me know.

Draw. The Bishop and King cannot checkmate, so the Bishop is useless except to kill the Pawn. White cannot avoid having the Bishop kill the Pawn, so it's a draw.
