black is horribly lost in your position, with decent play from white and perfect play from black it should be a white win. The passed pawn is not enough compensation for a whole bishop, especially with rooks on the board and pawns on both sides. And this is not even counting the fact that white has the more active rooks, and after 4. Kg2 and then Kf3, white will have blockaded the pawn and defended his only weakness, the e4 pawn.
Does black have a winning end game?

This is a game I'd been playing over the course of a week that just wrapped up. I'm really weak when it comes to endgames, so I have a tough calculating when I'm looking at how to finish off games in a fairly even position. I played black in this game. I don't really know how to analyze my games very well, so I'd appreciate any help.
As I said, I play black in this position. I ended up blundering into a mate 8 moves after this position trying to bring my king up to support my passed pawn. My real concern isn't the accuracy of my play but the accuracy of my analysis. I decided that it was a fairly even position, even though I was down material, due the fact that I had a well supported passed pawn. I'm confident that I could have easily worked a drawn endgame since I can prevent White from getting a pawn onto a file that his dark square bishop can help promote. But since I was attempting to scratch out a win, I avoided exchanging rooks, which ultimately cost me dearly.
Is there an accurate line that gives Black the victory?
