...And after 2.Kb2:

2...Rxa3  3.Kxa3 Qxc2  4.Qa4 (forced) Qxa4+  5.Kxa4

 

Now, the black monarch will easily get the h-pawn through.

Amazing position!

Qf1+ works just fine played first, followed by Ra8.  White is in zugzwang at that point and once a move by the QR or K is played, white's position completely falls apart, losing serious material, or the king. 

Moving Kb2 after Ra8 is not a solution that puts it into an endgame involving an easy h pawn advance, instead, Qf1 results in the same as above. There are so many threats on it's quite artistic :)

Yes, I tried 1...Qf1+ first.
