i am confused in this position

uh guys the black king move around the board and you cannot possibly mate him so he can just let his pawn die and the king and bishop cannot mate the lone king and if they try to go after the king then their is a threat of pawn promotion. So in any case,
it's a draw

No he can and he can be mated in 15 moves.

because no good player will play stupid moves as to mate so if both players are good then it is a draw
dude why would black place himself in such a position he can keep his knight away and then Spoiler. black cannot be checkmated
