54. Kg5 Kd6 55. Kf6
And this keeps the black king away from the pawn on g7.

55... Bg8
Trying to defend; this keeps the king away from f7. There's no good defense to Bh5 followed by Bf7.

 
56. Bh5 b5
What else? Black is hopeless here.

 
57. Bf7
Offering an exchange.

 
57... Bh7
Now, I could win the bishop for the pawn by promoting, but there is an even better continuation...

 
58. Kg5
! Now white gets a new queen.

 
58... Ke7
Threatening the light squared bishop...

 
59. Kh6
! But this is the end, folks. After KxB, KxB, there is no way to prevent g8=Q, and so black resigns. Thanks to Will for a very difficult game -- I'm proud to have pulled this one out!
