Answers.Text: The black pawns stand perfectly on dark squares, where they cannot be targeted by the bishop. Even if White wasn't preventing it, Black should never play ...a4 nor ...b5. The second part of this answer is absolutely correct: this is a dead draw.

  This is might be a win for white if the puzzle above is white to move, as despite the stacked 2 pawns white has, black currently has 2 black squared pawns, which is the opposite color of the black bishop. So it is possible for the white king to chase down the two pawns after bb5 to prevent the black bishop from protecting the pawns or advancing the pawns. White can then move his king up.
  
  Although I think it's possible for black to make a draw if the black king goes and protect these pawns, and then move the bishop continuously till draw without moving his king once the black king is on c5 to protect the b pawn
  
  So considering that this is the European team championship and the people playing do not blunder, this is more probably a draw.
  
  The above is written without the help of analysis, so I am probably wrong.
