Answers.Body: <p>Assuming it's black to move this is a very simple win. White has the opposition and a strong king position. I would recommend reading up on the opposition. White can effectively "push" the black king back because black has no alternative. A decent endgame player will see this as a win almost instantly. </p>

Comments.Text: Beside @RemcoGerlich vrey credible hypothesis (White played Kd5, Black held out his hand in sign of resignation before White even pressed the clock), the others possibilities I can imagine (i.e., if it is White's turn) is that Black lost on time, resigned by mistake... or that there is a White unit on a1, a2, b2 or a3, hidden by the player's hand !

  White to move is a draw.
  
  ```
   [FEN "8/3k4/5p2/3K1P1p/7P/8/8/8 w - - 0 1"]
  
   1. Kc5 {The only move} Kc7 {Again the only move.} 2. Kd5 Kd7= {Both sides are forced to repeat here, and it is a draw.}
  
  ```
  
  Now, black to move loses as black has to cede space, and then material.
  
  ```
   [FEN "8/3k4/5p2/3K1P1p/7P/8/8/8 b - - 0 1"]
  
   1... Ke7 2. Kc6 Ke8 3. Kd6 Kf7 4. Kd7 Kf8 5. Ke6 Kg7 6. Ke7 Kg8 7. Kxf6 Kf8 8. Kg5 Kf7 9. Kxh5 Kf6 10. Kg4 $18
