Comments.Text: Handwaving: Draw. White can only make progress by exchanging a6 against g6, and the resulting position is a Syzygy draw (if Black doesn't try the pseudoactive Ke6 - his Majesty belongs to e8, thus wait with K-d7-e8-d7 when the bishop must stay on d3).

  Here is an attempt to justify "Draw". What should be the plans for White? Obviously wander with the king to...
  
  * Force entry to f6. This would win by zugzwang after some manouvering (play B to c7 and K to f7, the bB gets "scissored").
  * Force entry to c7. The d pawn queens (or the a).
  * Force entry to b8. The a pawn queens.
  
  Unfortunately for White, the board is a line too short on either side.
  Black's correct plan for defense is playing the K to e6 immediately and the B to the long diagonal. Then, always block an eventual Kd4 with Ke6, Kb6 with Kd7 and Ka7 with Kc8. Laugh about the a-pawn running to a7, the B will control a8.
