The h6 pawn means nothing because as long as Black's Bishop is on the h4-e1 diagonal when the pawn is captured, so it can defend the g5 pawn with ...Bh4. The Bishop just stays there while the White King attacks the g5 pawn. Once the White King leaves to go to the Queenside the Black King just sits on either h5 or h7 and then the Black Bishop can go back and forth on the e1-h4 diagonal.... With a Draw. Brian
