In the meantime I have analysed this positition more deeply and came to the
conlusion that White wins anyway, either with Kc3 or g4. Black is absolutely
helpless and gets in Zugzwang. And this might also be the reason that the
evaluation of the chesscomputer programs do not much differ after executing Kc3
or g4.
