Black's king is centralized, black's knight will get over to the queenside, and I don't see how two passed pawns are going to get past the knight and king. And then white has the minor problem of not being able to stop black's h pawn... I let crafty run thru depth 18 here, and it thinks black is winning easily and would play Kxe4 without thinking, eval after 18 plies +5.6 Are you sure that isn't a typo? Although it might just be desparation as white is losing anyway...
