I know you are that strong, BTW I prefer the defense 2. g4 to 2. Kb4.
Some analysis have shown that the king still goes back to the kingside
to stop black's kingside pawns. Also the move 2. Kb4 is generally on a defensive
end throughout the game, it was only save by the move 7. a3!!, and do you
believe now that the defense 2. Kb4 -> Kb5 is not effective? of course it gets
the draw!!

By not moving our king to the queenside, we save one or two moves on some lines,
and I think it is black who is defending after the move 2. g4.
