Good question - according to Minev in ECE (position 421) it's a draw!

The critical line is

1. Kf7 Kb6 2. Kf6 Kb5 3. Ke7 Kc6 4. Ke6 Kc5 5. Kd7 d4
6. Ke6 dxc3 7. dxc3 Kc6 8. Ke5 Kc5 9. Ke4 Kd6 10. Kd4 Ke6
11. Kxc4 Ke5 12. Kd3

Now Dedrle gave the line

12...Kf4 13. Ke2 Ke4 14. Kf2 +-

But Minev improves with

12... Kd5 13. Ke3 Kc4 14. Kf3 Kxc3 15. Kg3 Kd4 16. Kxh3 Ke5 =

Is Minev right?
