White to play: Find the winning plan
8/pp1k2b1/8/3PPK2/6P1/PP6/8/8 w - - 0 1
This isn't a proper problem, but it is a good exercise. I reached this position playing out a position from my game against Jim from last Saturday. My opponent, as usual these days, was Stockfish.
Now for a subtle, confounding hint: It appears that if Black's bishop were on h8 instead of g7, then the game is probably a draw. I'm still trying to work that out, as well as the whys and wherefores. I plan to post the answer next week sometime. Hopefully I'll understand the position a bit better then, else wise it'll be more of a variation dump. Also, I hope I'll be done with this game by then!
