Good idea, but why not 6. Kxd4?  And 12. Kxb4 is not necessary.  A neat thing about two connected passed pawns against a lone king is that the king cannot take the the base pawn without the other pawn queening.

Your right, but this forum was meant pretty much all for amateurs that like taking all their opponetts pieces before checkmating them :D. You are also right, i t should have been 6.Kxd4, I don't know what i was thinking.

After 3.g4+, 3...Kh4 seems to draw.

Ah, yes, you're right. I didn't realize that every possible King movement on move 5 would allow a Queen trade.
