Hi guys,
While looking through the games for 2017 tournament I came across the following end game, which I found very interesting:
In this position white is to move, but they have resigned. From my analysis, it is either a draw or white will win if black are not careful. So, either my analysis is flawed, or white were too hast to resign... What do you think?

It's easily won for black if he finds 3...Kg3, e.g.
1. Ke1 Kxg3 2. Ke2 Kxh3 3. Kxe3 Kg3
1. Ke1 Kxg3 2. Ke2 Kxh3 3. Kxe3 Kg3
