Never mind. :-)
However there are examples OTB where GM's lose Bishop vs Rook endgames...Oups, was thinking of R+B vs R, don't mind me
I didn't know this is a draw. Never seen this before! Very weird.
Yes, it's a draw according to the Nalimov Endgame Tablebases. And I consider myself an endgame player, lol. Chess must be the most surprising game ever.
All you strong guys need to read Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual :)
Particularly, he says that it's a draw against bishop and rook pawns (c6, f6; a6, h6) if the bishop is covering the square in front of the pawn.
Notice, you can still try to trick your opponent:

The correct response after c7 — Kb7.
