If white tries to stop this with Kg2, then h1=Q >Kxh1 Kf2 anyways. The white pawns are essentially irrelevant, since they are too >slow. If the e4 pawn is on f4, white wins. If white advances the e4 pawn, the pawn queens in a bad spot and can't do anything in time to prevent black from mating. If white advances the a-pawn, the e-pawn blocks the new queen. With the e-pawn on f4, the a-pawn is fast enough. bruce
