No I just looked at the diagram you gave. I was at my job.
Now after a little more thorough look I found it wrong but I
kind of like the idea behind:
1. wK to b5
2. P to b4
3. B to e4 whenever needed
Suppose that the bK is on d6
Now I looked for sacrificing the a-pawn by a6-a7.
After a7 Bxa7 Ka6 Be3 the idea was Kb7, blocking the the black K,
followed by b5 and b6.

The problem is that it doesn't seem to win...
Furthermore if black place his king at c7 instead of d6 the sacrifice
definitely isn't correct.

I nice try, anyhow!
