Kb4 is not at all a threat, even if it reaches to b5. The correct move for black is 2...f5!!, try this out. If 3. c5 then play 3... Kd5!! (so that the black king has no chance to go back to c4 without lossing the the pawn at c5) and not 3... Kc6??. Black's majority will take care after. Along the line black has at least move his e5-pawn to e4. >before that variation is proved to win for black I don't see the need for >the alternate 2. g4, and it seems good too.
