Elaboration of Harold van der Heijden (2003) theme.

1.e4!
1.Kb3 Kd2 2.e4 Kd3=

1…Kd2 2.Kb1!!
Thematic – logical try : 2.Kb2? g4! 3.Kb1 Ke3! 4.e5 (4.c5 dxc5 5.e5 Kd2!) 4…dxe5 5.c5 Kf2 6.c6 e4 7.c7 e3 8.c8Q e2 see main line 1 : the difference is the White King on b1 instead of b2, so White has no move Qxg4, because e1=Q is with check. 9.Qc5+ Kf1 10.Qc4 (10.Qf5+ Kg1!) 10…Kf2 11.Qf4+ Kg1! 12.Qe3+ Kf1=
2.g4 Kd3= or 2.Kb3 Kd3=

2…g4 3.Kb2!
Thematic try 3.g3? Ke3! 4.e5 dxe5 5.c5 e4 6.c6 Kf2 7.c7 e3 8.c8Q e2 9.Qc2 Kf1 10.Qd3 Kf2=
3.Ka2 Kd3!

With Two lines :

A) 3…Ke3!? 4.e5!
Try : 4.c5 dxc5 5.e5 Kd2! 6.Kb3 Kd3! 7.Kb2 Kd2!=

4…dxe5 5.c5 e4 6.c6 Kf2 7.c7 e3 8.c8Q e2 9.Qxg4 e1Q 10.Qh4+-

B) 3…g3!? 4.Kb1! Ke3!?
a) 4…Kd3 5.e5 dxe5 6.c5 e4 (6…Ke2 7.c6 Kf2 8.c7 Kxg2 9.c8Q) 7.Kc1! Ke2 8.c6 e3 9.c7 Kf2 10.c8Q+-
b) 4…Kd1!? 5.e5 (5.Ka2 Kd2) 5…dxe5 6.c5 e4 7.c6 e3 8.c7 e2 9.c8Q e1Q 10.Qc2#
c) 4…Ke1 5.e5 dxe5 6.c5 e4 7.c6 e3 8.c7 e2 9.c8Q+-

5.e5 dxe5 6.c5 e4 7.c6 Kf2 8.c7 e3 9.c8Q+-

And now white is winning, because he has f3 square for check
