Theory/The Bishop Pawn Escapes

The Bishop Pawn Escapes

A bishop pawn on the seventh, with your king far away on d5. The queen cannot win this. When you check his king toward the pawn, he goes to the corner on a1 instead of c1, and there taking the pawn is stalemate. Only a king close enough to help mate could win, and yours is too far.
