Should be a win for white with Ke4. You play the queen side majority pawn until the black king has to take the last one, then white king snags blacks pawn at e5 and Black is hopeless then. White mops up blacks pawns on the kingside, and marches his own down for promotion. 1.Ke4, axb4 2.axb4 (any) 3. c5, bxc5 (Kd7, Kxe5, etc.) 4. bxc5, and Black has to leave his e5 pawn, and the king's side, to White's king to mop up. What line do you see that only gives Ke4 a draw? Hardware - one feeble mind. David
