Another of my original compositions.

Well, here we have another one of my original compositions. Not being much of a fan of the "_ to move and win in _ " type puzzles, I have created a small study which is interesting in that the White King must journey around the very edge of the board in order to secure the win. The reason is as follows: 1.Kg1 Bh7 2.Kf1 Bg8 3.Ke1 Bh7 4.Kd1 Bg8 5.Kc1 Bh7 6.Kb1 Bg8 and now 7.Ka2? loses to 7...Ke5!(with the trap of a f7-f6 dis. check, winning back the Bishop after it would capture the Knight with 8.Bxg5.)(8.Nc4+ Kd4! and Black will win with his extra pawns).7.Ka1! Bh7 8.Ka2 Bg8(setting up the trap once again)9.Ka3!(now the King has the tempo against the Bishop)9...Bh7 10.Kb3 Bg8 11.Kxc3 Bh7 12.Kd4(or 12.Kd2)12...Bg8 13.c4 and White wins easily.
