Is this posted upside down? As is, there is no way to prevent g1=Q and h1=Q. If you posted it upside down a lot of calculation is involved, but I don't see where the opposition ever comes into play.
Are the kingside pawns the wrong color?
How to calculate reserve moves and win opposition or draw atleast in pawn end games?

You are correct, by mistake. Diagram is edited again. Could you please tell me how to draw this game now, thanks a lot. What you mean opposition doesn't come into play? I mean after a while patient who runs out of moves loses oppositon.
Hello guys,
I'm losing too many of these end games. I get into king and king end games with both sides having equal pawns. Now we both move, and some how 90 percent of the time my opposition player has an extra pawn move and I lose the opposition and the game. I play time games most of the time, and I think this is not just luck, I'm missing something, why do I run out of reserve moves so quickly. I just like to draw these games atleast without losing everytime.
For example this game, computer says it should be a draw but I lost opposition at some stage and lost this game. Please tell is there a principle to draw. Thanks so much. white to move and draw.
