  GrahamClayton: A study by Henry Otten from 1892 - White to play and win:

Normally a bishop draws against two pawns, but the bad placement of the Black king and bishop allows White to queen the a-pawn.

1. a5 Bf8 2. Kd5 Bh6 3. g5+ Bxg5 4. Ke4 Bh4 5. Kf3 winning - the King blocks the bishop's access to g3 and h2.
