Yes nice study, BTW. Had fun with it.

A nice study. White can't hold this by playing 1.dxe5 and then 2.Kxg3 and then advancing his kingside majority because black will queen at d1 in a total of 8 moves, while it would take white 10 moves.
I am not quite sure right now what white has to do. I think white will also lose with 1.Kxg3 because black can foil this with 1.....h5!! 2.Kf3 e4!!
Right now, I am leaning towards 1.h5, but am still having trouble figuring out what to do after that. I think white can't win this, so is playing for a draw.
