1. Qf3+ Qxf3 2. gxf3 leads to a winning K+P ending. At first, I thought Black could draw and didn't see a way for White to make progress. Then I consulted an endgame table base, which showed the winning method. My goodness, K+P endings are so tricky.

btw, great puzzle.

How interesting, without thinking I would have given a draw hahaha!!! But yes, after a little calculation, all that is truly needed to know is a little triangulation to force the black king back. This allows the white king to start pushing his f-pawn far enough to win the h-pawns to create a 2nd threat. It wont be necessary to win with the 2nd threat, but creating it is more powerful than its execution since it serves a dual purpose of forcing the black king to lose opposition when it counts.
