This is an easy position and I am sure that every program with the KBP vs KP
tablebases can find the right move.

I am not sure if Nf5+ is the right move because I have not the KBP vs KP
tablebases and I did not analyze the position to see if Nf5+ leads to a draw.

There is no trivial draw after Nf5+ gxf5 Kxf5 because the black king cannot get
to a8 after Kd4 because the white king can prevent it.

If white can force black to play a3 by zunzwang then it is possible that white
can take the pawn with the bishop and win the game.
