White can not win. I put it in the engine and the score was +0.3. That is not a big enough advantage to win.
Can this lead to white win?

So white cannot win? It can only draw

yes you could but this would still only draw unless you got the white king to protect the white queen and the black king was still in a vulnerable positistion like the corner or close to the edges of the board.


no i think that's the fastest line with best defense from black, though i might be wrong
i tried playing it as good as i could for both but i'm not that good at chess so there might be longer ones that still lead to white winning (and black having better moves)

You should be using an endgame tablebase to assist you, not an engine. You'll find that white is winning after Kb1.

Yes. White is winning.
i noticed a blunder for black so i fixed it
that's weird the board did not show my exact movements or even something close to them

p.s. I should have scrolled down this thread before playing the computer and writing my annotations. I would have realized others gave diagrams too, but okay I'll post it since I already did the work lol.
Also, yes "Shouldering" is the part where the Kings advance up the board with King opposition, but the Distant Opposition with the first and second moves are key to this endgame.
White to play and If this can lead fo white win, please help me with the moves
