How to win this game

I got into a position where I was a pawn up, and exchanged down to a bishop and pawns ending, thinking that if I could get all my pawns on the opposite colour to my opponent, then it should be a fairly straightforward win.

I managed to reach the following position as black, but then thought I saw a winning line and simply exchanged off my opponents pawns which were stuck on the colour of the two bishops (g4 and e4).


Can anybody see any way of winning the pawns from the given position, or was it drawn even then? Any principle to be aware of?

Sorry, my first post was wrong. My only excuse for making this mistake is that I haven't had my coffee yet. 🙂

So yes, it was white to move.

At a quick glance, it seems to me that the Black will have little difficulty marching down the c-file to eventually win the b-pawn with chances to attach the pawn on e4 is White does not play this properly.

No, if you look carefully at my (Mad Rook) first posting, there is one edit to that posting. I initially incorrectly stated that it was black to move, only because in my decaffinated state, I looked at the game diagrams wrong. So I edited my initial posting to make the correction. So when I said "my first posting", I meant my first unedited posting for Mad Rook. Is that all clear to you now?
