user21343: Can anyone kindly guide me on how White has won in this picture of the end of an OTB game?


user19861: 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. 

user19877: In the picture, it could be either the two simply agreeing to the draw, or black resigning, depending on who has the move. Both are typically followed by a handshake.
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
