This was analyzed by Baburin in Informant 63, and revisited by Dan Scoones in the British Columbia Chess Federation email bulletin no.191, 2010.06.02. http://www.chess.bc.ca/Bulletins/BCCFBulletin191.pdf

In the game black lost after 
16...g4 
17.Bd6 Kh4 
18.Be5 Kh3 
19. Bg3!
 
zugzwang (1-0 in 10 more moves). See the pgn attachment.

Scoones suggests as an improvement 
16...Kg4!? 
17.Be7 Kh5 
18.Kg3 Kg6 
19.Bd6
 
("Or" 19.Bb4 Kf6 20.Be1 Kf5 21.Bf2 Kf6 22.Kg4 Kg6 "etc." but see below.) 
19... Kf5 
stating "it is very difficult to see how White can make further progress. I don't think it can be done. The verdict: draw."

Analysis position after 19...Kf5.

On the contrary, I think it is an easy win for white: 
20. Bb4 Kg6 
21. Be1 Kf5 
22. Bf2 Kf6 
23. Kg4 Kg6
 
(Scoones also reaches this position in his parenthetical variation) 
24. Bg3 Kf6 
25. Kh5 Kf5 
26. Be1
 
(the good square for the B) 
26...Kf6 
27. Kh6 Kf5 
28. Kg7
 
(this outflanking maneuver is typical of K+P endgames)
