I can't see any way forward in this puzzle, which explains my rating.
A classical endgame study by Luigi Centurini
My plan would be to take control of the b8-h2 diagonal first. Then work my king over to a8. This should render black's bishop as ineffective. Then you can play 1...b8 (Q).
How one gets there ?....uhh, don't ask me.
@jjupiter6 Black bishop is on the h2-b8 diagonal. This prevents the b pawn from queening. So, What should white try and do? White should maneuver it's Bishop, bring it to the b8 square and exchange it with the Black Bishop. Black bishop would often not capture it and move away. Black King could also try to guard the a7 square by playing moves like King a6 and prevent the White bishop from going Ba7 to Bb8.In the end, the White bishop will often need to sacrifice itself on the b6 square to facilitate the promotion of the b7 pawn. White can easily win the resultant Queen vs Bishop ending.
It might be helpful to look for a way to win if the Black bishop were on g3 (instead of h2) in the original position.
1.Ba5,now if black plays the bishop,say 1...Bg3,then 2.Be1 Bh2 3.Bf2 Bf4 (or somewhere) 4.Ba7 Bh2 5.Bb8 Bg1 6.Bh2 Ba7 7.Bg1
[In the original position,] 1.Ba5,now if black plays the bishop,say 1...Bg3,then ...
What if 1...Bd6 ?

Don't see what White gains if Black replies to Bb6 with …Kxb6.

What if 1...Bd6 ?
Then 2 Bb4 Bh2 3 Be1 Kb6 4 Bh4 Bf4 (4...Ka6 5 Bd8 and 6 Bc7) 5 Bd8+ Kc6 6 Bg5 Bh2 7 Be3 and 8 Ba7

What if 1...Bd6 ?
Then 2 Bb4 Bh2 3 Be1 Kb6 4 Bh4 Bf4 ...
What about 4...Bd6 ?
Move The white bishop in a way it gets to B8 over A7. ...
The devil is in the details.
I think I got it... but maybe not. After a lot of tries I've realized that the possible black bishop to h2 is something that has to be to stoped somehow.
Please let me now if I missed something, and sorry for not putting the variations (this is the first time I post something like this), and for the english.
White to move and Win
Can you demonstrate the winning technique?
