Was I able to win?
Sort:
I was white in this situation. It ended up as a draw as I was unable to force the King away from the pawns and I was wondering if there was a way to win in this situation. It's white's turn in this diagram.
You could have indefinitely prevented pawn promotion (say that three times fast!) but I don't see how to win here.
waaait! the board is the wrong way around! sorry!

Huh. I was confused as hell at your answer until I realized I'd been looking at the board backwards. I figured the b pawn (actually the g pawn) was ripe for promotion. 
If the board is the other way around, I think its a draw 
I'll look into it
I'll look into it
Bottom left square is a1 by the way.

Then I was right!
How did your kings swap positions like that? It would be fun to check out the PGN.
I'm failing to see how your solution works out. Unless I have the piece position wrong. But I'm pretty sure I have it the right way.
Well from what I can come up with, if you played it properly, then this game could have resulted in a draw. But I don't think you could have won.
Hehe, my solution only works if the board is the other way around
I think this game is always draw.
