Again, this is what happened in the bullet game (IT IS SIMPLIFIED), BUT the pawn push from white is not the best move. I put it like this because best moves from both sides result in a very long endgame, which still wins for black. Regardless, I will attach the whole endgame after this. Thanks for trying the simplified puzzle! Hope you found this interesting! I just thought I would share it because I thought it was very interesting!

Dear Americans Do not get offended By my Star Spangled Banner but DOORified Thank you O say can you see, by the dawn's early DOOR What so proudly we SLAMMED THE DOOR at the twilight's last gleaming,Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight BETWEEN SLAMMING DOORSO'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly SLAMMING?And the DOOR'S red glare, the bomb bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our DOOR was still there,O say does that DOOR-SPANGLED banner yet SLAMO'er the land of the DOORS and the home of the SLAMMERS?On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the FLOORWhere the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,What is that which the DOOR, o'er the towering steep,As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half SLAMS?Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first SLAM OF DOORS,In full glory OF DOORS reflected now shines in the stream,'Tis the star-spangled banner - O long may it waveO'er the land of the DOORS and the home of the SLAMMERS!And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,That the havoc of war and the battle's confusionA home and a Country should leave us no more?Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.No refuge could save the hireling and DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORFrom the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave OF THE SLAMMED DOORS,And the DOOR-SPANGLED banner in triumph doth waveO'er the land of the DOORS and the home of the SLAMMERS.
