Kg2

It seems to me that Kg2 is a better defense than Kg1. What is black's winning linein this case?

Going through it, but not sure. I think that

1. Kh1 Qe2
2. Kg2 Bh3+

Leaves white in a bad situation.

With the special case that

3. Kxh3 Qxf3+
4. Kh4 Re4+
5. Kg5 h6#

I'm unclear as to what the best answer to 3. Kg3, but the best I have now is 3...Qxf1. From there there are many variations, but I'm confident I can make black come out on top.
