I had the awful experience of drawing against a King, not knowing how the complicated maneuvers to mate

How about this one that I failed to win last night over the board? I had 19 minutes left, used 17 and gave in. I had 3 candidates and turns out one actually does win.
So if White goes for the race, whether f-pawn or h-pawn, he promotes first, but Black promotes with check on g1 and draws.
So I thought "What if I threaten g3 a move faster?" Turns out it wins, but I missed the last part of it. The g-pawn can actually be defended.
1.Kxf4! Kc5 2.Kg5! Kd4 3.Kxh4! f4 (otherwise g3 falls), but here I stopped and thought it was drawn, so was trying to find a way out of check without losing the pawn in both the Queen Endings. But no, 4.Kg4! Ke3 5.h4! Kf2 6.Kh3! And White wins.
All 6 moves are only moves - otherwise, it's a draw, which was the result of the game.

Wow, nice! Do you have an OTB rating?
