clandarkfire, do you have the name of the composer of this problem?
for example:-
[FEN "1B3B1B/2B5/p6B/8/8/8/8/1k1K4 w - - 0 1"]
1. Bfg7 Ka2 2. Kc2 Ka3 3. Kc3 Ka4 4. Kc4 Ka3 5. Bc3 Ka4 6. Bc1 a5 *
now black can just repeat Ka3 and Kb4 -- white cannot prevent the king escaping via the white squares....

1 Bc7-e5, K-a2
2 K-c2, P-a5
3 Be5-a1, P-a4
4.Bbe5!, a3
5.Kc3, Ka1
6.Kb3+, Kb1
7.Ba1-a2, Kc3#
I thought it was draw too. Almost everyone here did at first, i think. Very impressive/complicated puzzle. But it looks like it is a win. Can you find a way out of this? Try and see.

Oops!! Looking back I now see it really is possible. Wow very difficult puzzle. But nice one, though. Did you make this yourself or find somewhere? Good job if you made it. Very impressive.
Thank goodness i said "just kidding" too that bet. lol. 🙂
