I used this example of BOSC winning despite a wrong color Rook Pawn, but my students found a neat drawing resource. 73. h4 Bd3 74. h5 (74. Bf5 Bf3) Ke5 75. h6 Bh7 76. Bh5 Ke6 77. Bg6 Bg8 78. Bd3 (78. h7? Bxh7 =) Kf7 79. Bg6+ Kf8 80. Kf6:

White wins, right?! 80 ... Bf7! 81. h7 (81. Bxf7 =) Bg8!:

Now taking the Bg8 draws, and promoting on h8 to anything also draws. So White should aim for this position with Black to move:

Where 1 ... Bf7 loses to 2. h7 and 1 ... Ke8 loses to 2. Kg7 etc.

The key rule of Bishop endgames = patience. =)
