The bishop is of the wrong color. But try to promote the pawn. No engine 😉

If you manage to move the pawn to h7 without getting captured... Success

I don't understand. bishop wrong color?

play4fun64

h8 where the pawn promotes is dark square. The bishop is light colored. If the bishop is dark colored, the pawn promotes easily.

Hmm. Be6, any king move by black, then h6 stops the black king from going to g7, and g8 is protected do the black king can't stop the pawn from promoting. Am I right ?

Just analyzed, there is a forced mate. This is not a draw.
