Easily a draw

You could play a waiting move with the f bishop.

Then if he moves the king you take the knight and promote to whatever you wish.

If he moves with the knight then you trade the bishop for the knight and the promote.

He has to move one of them and basically if you want to evade stalemate Just in case there is one then promote to a knight bishop and knight mate is theoretically possible (hard though).

It's a draw.

Black oscillates his king between g7 and h8 when the knight can't be taken and if the White king attacks g7 he oscillates the knight between f8 and g6 when it again can't be taken.

If White stops attacking h7 (or "x-ray attacking" h7) he moves the knight to there instead (and back to f8 if h7 is again attacked).

(Applies to @NegativeZeroBrainCells's position and OP's.)

Strictly speaking the king can't take the pawn in either of the positions because it's illegal (whichever king you're referring to) and White can ensure it remains illegal. And it makes no difference anyway.

Nah what you mean just move the white bishop onto the black square bro

The fastest possible one is a mate in 3

You're right, but that's not one; it's a helpmate in 4.

I assumed you meant a forced mate in 10.

Well there probably is mate in 10 if you can move your bishops sideways.
