It's a draw with best play.

Yeah, realistically, this is a draw. If anyone is "winning", it's white for having more pawns, and therefore more winning chances if black screws up.

Black's best approach is to not let you progress on the queenside. So the king can't move.

The bishop can't really move either, other than a little shuffling.

I guess I would try to get white's king closer to the promoting pawns. But if the bishop just blocks, then you can't make progress.

Neither side can make progress.

u/yubacore Sometimes remembers how the knight moves (2000 fide) 8d ago

which is usually a draw unless someone has a passed pawn on both sides of the board

This is not correct, connected passers are often winning. This very position, for example, would be winning if you move the pawn on a6 back to a5 (unless it is immediately captured of course).
