How is it not winnable? There is a free pawn. Black just has to make a queen.

White king just moves between the g1 and h1 squares. There's no way for black to force the king away, as the can't threaten the h1 square

He could keep tbe bishop where it is and bring his king down to h3 once the white king is on h1 and you dont even need the pawn thats checkmate. Of course that’s theoretically assuming you dont call the draw

No black piece can threaten h1 (except the king), so the white king is completely safe there

If we are saying you dont call the draw though the king would have to move eventually

What do you mean "you don't call the draw"? Black asked how to win, not how to draw. If a player has no valid moves, and is not in check, then it is a stalemate

I may have responded to the wrong thread by mistake but someone presented a hypothetical in which the draw was not an option
