There is a win?

Hiarcs 8 - Frohlick,Tim

1.g5 hxg5  0.00/15  20  2.Ke7 d2  -0.85/9  4  3.f7  -0.25/12  23  Kh7  0.00/14
53  4.f8Q  0.00/13  6  d1Q  0.00/12  11  5.Qf7+  0.00/13  1:15  Kh6  0.00/13  10
 6.Qe6+  0.00/12  11  Kh5  0.00/13  7  7.Qh3+  0.00/13  9  Kg6  0.00/6  0
8.Qe6+  0.00/13  9  Kh7  0.00/11  3  9.Qf7+  0.00/10  5  Kh6  0.00/18  1
10.Qe6+  0.00/12  5  Kh5  0.00/17  7  11.Qh3+  0.00/13  2  Kg6  0.00/1  0
12.Qe6+  0.00/14  23  Kh7  0.00/29  5  13.Qf7+ 0.00/11  6  ½-½

That move by black 3...Kh7 makes this a draw.  It is sometimes better to defer
promotion.
