The black pawn is on the h-file and never goes to a3. It's on h2 at the point where White queens with check. Black plays Kg1 and reaches a well known drawing position [0].
This is one of the first chess endgames most people learn after how to mate with queen or rook. Like I said, anyone playing at more than a beginner level normally knows this. Kf2 (instead of Kg2) draws in the same way.

- pdevr 5y ago>The black pawn is on the h-file and never goes to a3. Meant h3, sorry, result of mental calculations. I just checked on an analysis engine, and it confirms: every position is losing for black, as long as white does not mess it up, and has the first move. You can try it out here: https://www.chess.com/analysis https://www.chess.com/analysis Load FEN: 8/2K5/8/7p/P7/5k2/8/8 w - - 0 1
- dmurray 5y ago> every position is losing for black, as long as white does not mess it up, and has the first move. But white doesn't have the first move. From the post: > Black to move. Black offered a draw... > I agreed so we played ... h4 a5 h3 a6 h2 a7 h1(Q) a8(Q)+ If white was to move the story would make even less sense. You can try it out by changing "w" to "b" in your FEN.
- pdevr 5y agoI missed this part "Black to move. Black offered a draw" - thanks for pointing that out. In that case, it is a draw. Of course, unless black messes it up!
