  g15713: John Nunn analyzes this ending extensively on pages 303 to 305 in his chess book, <Nunn's Chess Endings Volume 1> 2010, which covers general topics and discusses in detail pawn endings, queen endings and minor-piece endings except rook endgames. I will only remark and highlight certain moves.

Nunn commented <"one of the most astounding discoveries to emerge from the 6-man databases was finding that">
♕ + (a- & b-pawns, or g- & h-pawns) vs ♕ is a theoretical drawn ending when <"the defending king is in front of the pawns.">

F. 1.0

Syzygy says it is a tablebase draw if Black plays 125...Kg8 only move to draw
'https://syzygy-tables.info/?fen=7k/...

<"White's main winning try is to occupy a good square with his queen, and then play his king round to f4 and then by some route to e7."> Nunn points out that another route is by playing his king out via h5 and g6.

<"The best square for White's queen is c6, and the next best is d5, while b5 is also very dangerous (because it is hard to prevent the queen from transferring to c6 or d5)."> Nunn goes on to say that the best square for Black's queen is on d7 while the next best is b7. The Black king should be on g8 or h8 if possible.
