Accurate enough.

The most critical line is 7...Ka8 8. Kxb6 Kb8 and now 9. Ka6! is the fastest win, since 9. Kc6 Ka7 10. Kc7 (10. b6+? Ka8! draws) Ka8 and white has to repeat with 11. Kb6 (11. b6?? stalemate) Kb8 12. Ka6 if he wants to win.

Nice

However, if tge white pawn was on b4, and the black pawn b5, the game would be a draw.

Although white would win the pawn still, he couldn't get the opposition.
