I am not sure if white can win the game.
The idea of black is to take the white pawn g2 if white tries to do a new queen.

This position was posted in CCC some monthes ago and another problem is that it
is illegal position because the structure of black pawns
h6,h4,g3,f4,f5,f6,f7 is impossible(these 7 pawns came from c-h files and there
were only 6 pawns in c-h files in the beginning of the game).
