at depth=20 crafty says Ke6 is a dead draw:
(3) 19 2:35 0.23 1. ... Ke6 2. Kxd4 f4 3. Ke4 f3 4.
Kxf3 Kf5 5. g6 hxg6 6. h6 Kf6 7. Kg4
g5 8. Kh5 g4 9. Kh4 Kg6 10. a4 Kxh6
11. Kxg4
19-> 2:54 0.23 1. ... Ke6 2. Kxd4 f4 3. Ke4 f3 4.
Kxf3 Kf5 5. g6 hxg6 6. h6 Kf6 7. Kg4
g5 8. Kh5 g4 9. Kh4 Kg6 10. a4 Kxh6
11. Kxg4
20 3:20 0.01 1. ... Ke6 2. Kxd4 f4 3. Ke4 f3 4.
Kxf3 Kf5 5. g6 hxg6 6. h6 Kf6 7. Kg4
g5 8. Kh5 g4 9. Kh4 Kg6 10. Kxg4 <HT>
It never considers anything other than Ke6 from the .1 second mark forward.
At depth=18 the score is about +1, at depth=19, +.23 and at depth=20 it is
a dead draw. Using tablebases of course...
