Sort:
but what if black plays 1...Kd3 with the idea of playing Bc8 later and therewhile picking up the f-pawn?

hey guys,
I just got a new book - The test book of the bishop and knight endgames by Jerzy Koniowski - and it has 140 cool endgame puzzles.
So from now on, im gonna post one puzzle every two days for you guys to solve. First its easy, but then it gets harder and harder.
It is multiple choice, but you gotta give me a variation on why is it like that.
Enjoy!
Puzzle 1:
a) The white pawns are stronger than the bishop. White wins.
b) The game is a draw.
