White should defend the b2-pawn from a distance, i.e. if blacks K moves to b3, white has Bf6,g7. The c5,d6-pawns are of no importance. Black's only breakthrough h4, is met by gxh4. White's K should just remain on f2. If black's K moves to e4 or f5, white can keep the B on the diagonal d8-h4. No breakthrough is then possible. In the diagram position white could give up the c-d-pawns to clear the way for the B, i.e. 37.c6 followed by 38.d7. Draw.
