Another Horwitz and Kling study, but they got the solution wrong! 1.Kf4 H&K went with 1.f6+ Kh7 2.Kf4, but didn’t see Kg8!! (2...Ba4 3.g5 Bd1 4.g6+ Kg8 5.h6 Bb3 6.h7+ Kh8 7.Kg5 Bc2 ((7...Bf7 8.gxf7 Kxh7 9.Kg4)) 8.f7 Kg7 9.h8Q+) 3.h6 Bg6 4.Ke5 Kf7 5.g5 Bc2 and draws! 1...Bf7 2.Ke5 Bc4 3.g5 Be2 4.h6+ Kh7 5.f6 Bc4 6.Kd6 Kg6 7.Ke7 Bb3 8.h7 Kxh7 9.f7 Bxf7 10.Kxf7 Kh8 11.Kg6 Kg8 12.Kh6 Kh8 13.g6 Kg8 14.g7 Kf7 15.Kh7 and wins. A very instructive ending that I’ve actually seen in tournament play.
