I accepetd the draw offer in this game. In fact I offered my opponent a draw, he said lets wait for 2-3 moves and then if no one makes a blunder, we'll agree to a draw.
Materialwise, I have a stronger position but then postion wise, he was stronger. What do you'll think?

the Black King could mop up those 2 pawns and then you swing it round to attack white pawn pase on the other side of the board.
The white will be helpless because moving the bishop will constantly put him in zuzgwang
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "8/4k1p1/P1p2p1p/5P1P/1P2K1P1/8/8/6b1 b - - 0 1"]
1. ... Kd6 2. Kd3 Kd5 3. Kc3 Ba7 4. Kb3 c5 5. bxc5 Kxc5 6. Kc3 Kd5 7. Kb4 Ke4
8. Kb5 Kf4 9. Kc6 Kxg4 10. Kb7 Bg1
I quickly copied the Fen into babas and played against crafty as black.
If you can think of a better defence for white please tell me, i'll pop it in as a variation and kick its arse.

The main problem for me was that all white pawns were really advanced, one bad move and I could have ended up losing as he could have queened one those pawns.
"key squares" ...
IF (big if) white can get he king to f7 then he may actually end up wining.
but in order to get to f7 the needs to get to e6 first.
so, those are the key squares, if black can prevent the king reaching them, while at the same time mop up pawns, he will win.
EDIT:- HAHA!! the win is even easier than that:-
Kf7 Be3 Kxg7 Bg5 and White can't make any progress.
Come on, guys, this is an easy win for black. For instance:
1. ... Kd6 2.Kd3 (if the king goes to the other side, then Kd5, Kd4 and grabs the two pawns; white cannot even try to infiltrate because of the black c- and f-pawns) Kd5 3.Kc3 (needs to try and protect the pawn) Ke4 4.Kc4 Kf4 5.b5 (the only try to do something active) cxb5+ 6.Kxb5 Kxg4 ; black sacrifices the bishop for the a-pawn and eats the kingside pawns long before the whiteking is back

Black can easily defend the pawns with just his bishop and pawn and can just pick up the pawns on the other side at his own leasure.
