Lets say white uses his king to take the black pawn on e4. Then white advances his e-pawn and blocks blacks bishop by Bf6. Look at the position

[fen]k7/Pp4bP/1P3B2/4P3/1p3K2/1P6/8/8 w - - 0 1[/fen]

Then move the king around to g6 or g8

and 1-0

1.h8(N),Bxg7 2.Ng6,Bh6 3.Ne7,Bxe3 4.Nd5,Bxb6 5.Nxb6,Kxa7 6.Nd7 wins.
Something like that maybe?

as soon as u play Bf6 i play Bxf6.

Yep.

But getting the bishop to f6 in that position is extremely hard..

Ok,let's try again.
1.h8(N),Bxg7 2.Ng6 and now the knight will always reach d5 winning the game,no?
And 2...,Bd4 fails on exd4.

Or am I still missing something?

1. Ke7! g5 2. Kd6! g4 3. e7!! and now if Black tries 3...Bb5 then 4. Kc5 forces black to make the decision. He can let the Bishop drop and both sides Queen, or he can blockade the pawn, when 5. Kd4! gets back inside the square of the pawn. =
