How?
Sorry.
What I meant to say was "Black wins?"
( On further investigation: It's a draw.)

Yes. 1...g5 is Black's best try.
2. fxg5? f4 wins for Black, but (as pfren pointed out) 2. e6! holds the draw.
So 2., fxg5 f4 is a draw as well?
In that case, I'm very glad I avoided this pawn endgame.
I stayed in a same-coloured (black-squared) bishop endgame instead. That was also completely drawn but my opponent found a way to lose it.

"If you play out the games, funny things will happen. Fisher knew that" I don't know who said it, but it's definetly true.
Which way are black's pawns going?
The position below could have arisen in one of my OTB games. How should the game end?
