#Can anyone understand what is happening in this bishop endgame?

Forcing the enemy king away from your weak flank pawn then probably maneuvering the king in
It’s not a draw because black’s king is slightly better than white’s and same colored bishops

Yes but white has a lot of other options with the same eval, and black's response so them isn't cut clear. It's a very bad puzzle I have to admit.

During the puzzle or after?

After black plays Bc5, white can do anything without dropping the eval for example: Bh6, Bf2, Bg5, and what do you do next, it's not clear. It looks like black is trying to win the h pawn but it can't even do that, and even it wins it. It's not clear it can win from there.

It’s a more pleasant endgame with a win at best and a draw if you screw up
