Some analysis, using Fritz:
1.a4! Kb7 2.Kh5!! Kc6 3.Kg5!
[3.Kg6? Kc7 4.Kf6 Kd7 5.Kf7 Kd6 6.Ke8 Ke5 7.Kd7 Kd4 =]
3...Kc7
[3...Kd6 4.Kf5!
(4.Kf6? Kd7 5.Ke5 Ke7 =)
4...Kd7 5.Kf6!
(5.Ke5? Ke7 =)
5...Kd6 6.b3 +-]
4.Kg6!
[4.Kf6? Kd7 =]
4...Kc6 5.b3!
[5.Kf5? Kd6 6.Kf6 Kd7 7.Kf7 Kd6 =]
5...Kc7 6.Kg7! Kc6 7.Kf8 Kd6
[7...Kd7 8.Kf7 Kd6 9.Ke8 +-]
8.Ke8 Ke5 9.Kd7 Kd4 10.Kc6 Kc3 11.Kxb6 Kb4 12.Kc6 Kxb3 13.Kb5! and wins
