This one is presented by Andreas. It came from a game of Kasparov against another former World Championship challenger. It is Black to move. How should Black continue?
Too bad for White that he can’t just make his two pawns disappear, leaving Black with the impotent pair.
The general idea must (?) be to trap the White king on a1, with the Black king on c1 (or c2) and the Black bishop guarding a2, producing zugzwang. White will have no choice but to throw himself on the sword with b4-b5. At that point axb5 will rescue Black’s pawn from oblivion.

so blacks plan is to provoke b5 so
one position is
White:Ka1,Bc6,a6
Black:Ka3,b3,b4 black to move
i just have to figure it out how to
reach it:)))
so one line:
1.Bf1 Kd1
2.Kf2 Kd2
3.Be2 Kc2
4.Ke3 Kc3
5.Bd3 Kb3
6.Bb5 Kc3
7.Be2 Kb3
8.Bd1+ Ka3
9.Kd4 b3
10.Kc3 Ka4
11.Bxb3+ Ka5
12.Bc4 Ka4
13.Kb2 Ka5
14.Ka3 Kb6
15.Kxb4 and this is wining
