This ending is not so easy to unravel as one might think at first.
Here are four very similar positions to back up the claim:
[D]k7/6p1/6B1/8/8/8/7P/K7 w
White mates in 26 moves.
With the bishop initially on f7:White mates in 21 moves.
With the bishop initially on e8:White plays and Black draws.
With the bishop initially on h5:White plays and Black draws.
By the way,if the White king were initially on a2,the results
would be _exactly_ the same.  JAFM
