hxg4 1/2-1/2


Position after 38.g4:

[d] 8/8/2kP1n2/4pppp/6P1/B2K1P1P/8/8 b - - 0 38

Can somebody confirm (or disprove) that this simple line would have won fairly
easily for Black? :

38...hxg4 39.hxg4 (forced) f4+ 40.Kd3 (forced) Kd7

Looks like a win for Black, but a stronger player's opinion is requested.
