Yes white wins of course when you don't pick the best moves for black (lol).
Ke6 is nessasary as it gains a tempo. Kg6 loses.
I'd thought Ke6 was met by Ke4, but that draws as well. Thanks!
Not quite. Ke4 is met by f5+ where after gxf5+, Kf6 White is in zugzwang and black wins the f5 pawn. After that white has to stay on the kingside because it will be faster for black to pick up the one remaining pawn than it would be for white to pick off blacks connected pawns on the queenside.
Still, is that not a draw?
