4...Kc4 5. Ke3 Kc3. If Ke2, Kd4. If Ke4, Kd2. If Kf3, Kd3. If Kf2, Kd4.
what about 4kf2... 4ke4 just loses.

4. Kf2 Kc4. If Kf3, Kd3. If Ke3/g3, Kc3. If Ke1/e2/f1/g1/g2, Kd4.

If it's Kg3 vs Ke3 with black on move, white holds
But it's not.

I won't tell you unless you ask. But have you answered your question at #201?

Don't give up. I'll check your next idea when I get back from dinner.
I can tell for certainty that 1.Kg4, 1.f5, 1.Ke4, 1.Ke3, 1.Ke2 will not work.

I think I mentioned before that I like endgames that provide a useful lesson for beginners. Here is one I believe does that.
White to play and draw
Easy (Answer in white text) 1.Kf1 Kb2 2.Kf2 Kb3 3.Kf3 Kb4 4.Kf2 Kc4 5.Kg2 Kd4 6.Kh2 Ke3 7.Kg3 Kd3 8.Kh3 Ke4 9.Kg4
You can't really assume that Black will play 6...Ke3 instead of 6...Ke4...

Trexler, I'm happy to see you've studied the position enough to find the flaw in cjxchess17's attempt.

Now you are on the right track. What do you play after 5. Kh3 Kc4?
