Would it be...

1. e7 Bb5

2. Kg7

Black can't do anything else than 2. -- Bd3, if he wants to protect that pawn and afterwards.

But Black need to keep eye on e8 due to promotion thread...

I think White can win in here...

1 Ke7 g5 2 Kd6 g4 3 e7 Bb5 4 Kc5 he most move the bishop and then the king goes 5 Kd3 g3 6 Ke2 g2 Kf2 and he guards the pawn with his bishop e8=Q Bxe8 and then you simply takes the pawn.

It is a draw alright, and a fine puzzle I dare say.

And ehm eh

*SPOILER*

First you would think that the pawn is in the way, but then it turns out that the pawn is in the way.

It was probably a typo. He meant to say Kd4.
