Endgame study to share

I came across this endgame study this week :
White : Kd7, pawn c7
Black : Kf3, pawn b7, Bh7
White to move and draw.
Can you find the beautiful solution ?

Found it, very nice, i will share it tomorrow at my chessclub, thank you
It is quite an amazing endgame study in my opinion. It does echo the famous pawn endgame study by Richard Reti a bit.

If you want to be 100% sure about the solution you can use for example the tablebases on Shredderchess website or other tablebases websites. No need to let an engine run.
Ha, reading your description of the position, my mind tried to lump all the pieces together or something and I put the king on f6 instead of f3. I was looking at the position for an embarrassingly long time thinking, "Man, that king on f6 ruins all my ideas." Ended up even checking with a tablebase before rereading your description and realizing what an idiot I was.

Cool study.
This study is really great. White combines the threat of hunting blacks pawn and coming to support the white pawn.

Seen it before in Silman's ending book.
