You werer faster than me. Sorry, for repeating - I did not see your post yet,
when I wrote mine.

I am pretty sure, that it is draw after g4. What are the options? Black has to
either give the knight or his last pawn. Giving the knight seems to be a very
obious draw. Giving the last pawn? That would need to be some exceptional
position, when B+N can win vs. B+P - so really should be an easy draw.
