  <p>Only if white blunders, doesn't see Kf6 and instead plays Kh4. Yes, Kf6 allows black to capture the bishop on h8 but that leads to a swift mate. Blacks best try is to keep taking pawns and checking but eventually he has to exchange queens to avoid mate and White still has one pawn left plus the extra piece to give him the win.</p>
