Answers.Text: I have upvoted your comment because I like the idea with `Kd6+Nc7` better than mine setup. I have found a much stronger path for White, so I will not officially accept your answer for now. Best regards.

Answers.Text: What is the stronger path? Is this after Ne8? White had a lot of options but it didn't appear to change the plan drastically. Or, is this from before the diagram? You should edit your question and maybe add this in there if you want other answers to address it.

Answers.Text: @AlwaysLearningNewStuff I'm not sure how to add new lines, but it doesn't look possible to prevent the Knight from capturing. After Bb7! I believe after Nc7-b5-c3 it is impossible to prevent the Knight from capturing the pawn or chasing the Knight away so the pawn can safely advance. An immediate threat is Nc3-a2 with capturing the pawn imminent. If White plays Bd5 to prevent Na2, Black can play Nd4 or simply hang out on c3 or b5.

Title: Can Black draw this endgame?
ThreadText: # Can Black draw this endgame?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-06-19)
  
  I was playing this game just a few minutes before posting this, and tried to save the game by entering the following endgame:
  
  ```
  [Title "Black to move"]
  [StartFlipped "0"]
  [fen "8/6k1/1p2Kn1p/7P/1P6/5B2/8/8 b - - 0 1"]
  
  ```
  
  I intended to sacrifice the knight for the `b-pawn` and then get theoretical draw by entering the following endgame :
  
  ```
  [Title "Theoretical draw"]
  [fen "8/6k1/4K3/7P/8/5B2/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
  
  ```
  
  In the game, I played `1...Ne8` with the intention of posting it on `d6`. Then I could defend it with my king ( on the dark squares of course ). White can break this blockade with *zugzwang* ( he can make proper bishop moves to achieve this ), but I believe that Black has sufficient squares at his disposal to defend.
  
  Is there a way for White to breach my defense that I have missed?

  To me, it looks like your plan is to move your king forward to d6. After he takes your pawn, you play Kd6 keeping opposition and blocking the pawn advancement with the Knight on c7. Looks dead drawn after that.
  
  ```
  [Fen "8/6k1/1p2Kn1p/7P/1P6/5B2/8/8 b KQkq - 0 1"]
  
  1... Ne8 2. Kd7 Kf7 3. Kc6 Ke6 4. Kxb6 Kd6 5. Ka5 Nc7
