White's last move was the transformation of a pawn. Black to move - Black never transformed a pawn.
1) Black to move and draws
2)What was the position before White's last move?
3)White takes back his last move and wins

the position might have been something like this (white to play), with the black bishop anywhere on the d8-h4 diagonal (except f6 of coarse).

you would get something like, 1.g7 Bf6 2.gxh8B Bxh8 3.Kxh8 followed by h7h8Q and win for white.
After 1.g7 Bf6 2.gxh8Q?? Be5!! the game will end in a draw.
