This is a draw if white to move as black can follow whites King for opposition and white can't make any progress. However if black to move this is a win for white because the white king can go the opposite side to the black king this is called out flanking the king
Score: 1This is the philidor position it's a draw if white to move as the white rook can move to b3 and guard the 3rd rank if black checks on h1 you can move the king forward 1 square keeping if on the same file as the queening square and if the pawn is protected and pushed to the 3rd rank you can play rook back to the 8th rank and check the King. The black king must stay near the pawn or else you win the pawn so the game will end in repition
Score: 1
