White to play and win

Here's the FEN: k3K3/7b/8/1pP5/8/1p5B/8/8 w - - 0 1
 
Can you convert that to normal algebraic notation please?
Play your pawn to c6
Black plays his bishop e4
c7 white pawn
black bishop b7
You play your bishop to g2
Black xg2 (AKA he took your bishop)
pawn c8 to promote your pawn to queen

You mean
1. c6 Be4
2. c7 b7
3. Bg2 Bxg2
4. c8=Q+
Right?
 
The problem is, after c6, Black isn't gonna play Be4, he's gonna push his own pawn and get a queen of his own, what do you do then?

wait let me try that
I played against a 3200 bot and he just moved xer bishop
 
Okay, you push again, black makes a queen, you make a queen with check, yes the king moves to a7, yes, you check on c7, Ka8 is forced, yes, you check with the bishop on g2, Be4 blocking the check, yes Qh7, your queen pins the bishop to the queen while your bishop pins the bishop to the king, a fascinating double pin
But did you really come up with that solution or did you just put the puzzle on the stockfish?

I know how to play chess a little bit from my chess addicted cousins (I solved it myself)
