Bishop+2 pawns vs Bishop, did I play wrong?

Hi, This is from my last game, I had 2 pawns+bishop vs opponent's bishop, I thought this was a winning game, but it ended up with a draw. Any winning play here? or this position is a draw?

This position is a draw, no matter who moves first (although if it were Black's move, Kc6, Kd6, or Bd5 loses).  Black can stop one pawn from queening and does not have to move away from the other pawn.  We would have to see an earlier position for White to see if there was a win.

Thanks a lot. This was the position after we exchanged the queen, maybe I should not do it, but I thought I could win...

This position is drawn. That's one reason to study endgames... because otherwise it's hard to pick the right moment to trade down into one.

It's an old abandoned post but a very interesting endgame near the two results line. It is a draw but look for instance at this nearby position which might arise after some random piece play:

Can black draw? How?
