3.a6 is a draw!?
Instead of playing Nc6 why doesn't whit play a6 and force black to take the pawns. Another possibility must be to both transform pawns into queens, but doesn't that also convert into a draw?

3...
And why 3. ... N4e+ instead of Nd3 + when it blocks both Ke1 and Ne5+ moves for white ???

Nd3+??
3.., Ne4+ is important because it allows you to go to g3 or d2 covering the transformation square 3. Nc6 Ne4+
4. Kf1 Ke3
5. Ne5 Nd2+
6. Kg1 f2+
7. Kg2 f1=Q+
.

If you move the Knight to d3 this will happen:
1. g4 f3+
2. Kf2 Kf4
3. Nc6 Nd3+
4. Kf1 Ke3
5. a6 f2
6. a7

a6 does not draw
White has to drop his new queen to avoid mate after 3.a6. One line trying to hold the queen would be:


1.g4 f3+ 2.Kf2 Kf4 3.a6 Ne4+ 4.Kf1 Ke3 5.a7 f2 6.a8=Q Nd2+ 7.Kg2 f1=Q+ 8. Kh2 Nf3+ 9.Kg3 Qf2+ 10.Kh3 Qh2#
