Is there a way to win this?

Start a new game, go to advanced options and set up the board. Copy the FEN and paste into a new message with the insert board from FEN option. Don't forget to cancel the game you started, otherwise you leave an open challenge. Simple, really.

of course black can win, assuming that white blunders..

that one looks like a win for white since white's king is closer and should be able to get in front of the pawn

It's a win for white, as the white king easily reaches c5. After that, escorting the pawn is pretty simple.

here is an unusual draw, i made a mistake early in the game but black let me off the hook.after 68...Kb4 the position looked like this


white to play and draw
