with only black-squared Bishops - Bishops not able to 'cover' the Queening square, white cannot give checkmate or Queen the pawn - she *can* give stalemate however

1/2-1/2

Black to move Checkmate is NOT possible when there is only King and Bishop Vs King - this would be a DRAW

1...

1/2-1/2

note that all the Bishops are the ONE colour. Stalemate MAY be a possibility - but NOT CHECKmate !!!
