This position obviously did not happen OTB, but a friend of mine found it somewhere and dared me to solve it. I found it very interesting. This one is easy to guess, but can you solve it with a plan instead of a guess and can you see why this sequence is the only one available?

thanks a lot! great puzzle! Beautiful!  May I just comment that in the third case of a bishop promotion the fact that white king moves only on  white squares is irrelevant, just to make very very small correction, it does not matter if king moves on a black square - it is still a draw.
