Also, I don't understand why not simply 1. Kxg1.
I know my first posts were long and detailed, but 1. Kxg1 leaves the White King unable to infiltrate and make progress.
There is no way for the white king to pass through the pawns anyway.
I am 100% convinced that the diagram is wrong and the black bishop should be on h2.
If the diagram is wrong in the original position, then that might explain why I've spent a lot of time on this puzzle yesterday and still had no success. At this point, I've stopped trying to come up with ideas and am just waiting for the thread op to post the real solution (either by someone in this thread solving it and the thread op confirming it or by the thread op figuring out the puzzle solution themselves).
