Here's a very tricky pawn ending, with White to play. What's the best move? (I'm not gonna say win, lose or draw--that would be too easy!).

Win for white :)
1 e5.
If dxe5, advance the g pawn, deflect the king to capture on g7, then d6. If cxd, then c7, otherwise dxc and queen. The black pawns cannot queen against the white king.
If black doesn't capture on e5, parry the black pawn advance threats, then exd, followed by the same strategy outlined above.
Am I even close?
