Tell me if you need more analysation.

you Analysis is wrong...I'm sorry, but what if, in your alternate line, black plays 3...exf2? then there is no way for the white king to stop both pawns...

I think 1.Bg3 d3 (looks critical) 2.Bxf2 d2 3.Be1! when 3...d1=Q is stalemate, so 3...d1=R but after 4.Ke2 I don't think Black can stop White taking the last pawn for a draw.

P.S When you notate, master, try to write like 1. Kh1 Kh8 2.Kg1 Kg7, rather than 1.Kh1 1...Kh8 2.Kg1 2...Kg8 as that's much more difficult to read.

Ithink thats marvellosity is right.

Hey!But that means i got  more than half the answer!

Nice puzzle anyways."Stalemate!" or "Impossible mate!",lolWink.
