Although it looks like it is probably a draw, the final position is still not completely convincing. Do you know of anyone who has actually looked at all the possibilities in depth?
Sorry, after over a month there's still nothing I can find about that. I may have to analyse that. Basically, the black king shouldn't be able to escape and the black queen should be unable to incarcerate the white king.
Pardon, you seemed to ignore 1...g1Q after which white is lost (1.Kxc4 g1Q 2.Sxh4 Qc1+ and 3...Kxh4, for example). Or did you mean in a certain variation?
1.Sxh4? Kxh4 2.Sf3+ Kg3 3.Sg1 h5 4.Kxc4 h4 5.d4 h3 6.d5 h2 7.Se2+ Kf2 8.d6 Kxe2 (or the easy 8...g1Q or h1Q) 9.d7 g1Q 10.d8Q Qc1+ 11.Kb4 h1Q and black wins. If I missed the variation you mean, please tell me so.

You're right. I just though that g-pawn is on g3. Sorry for confusing you.

Thanks for your video. What would've happened if Kxc4 leaving then both knight to kinside black pawns? Or it wouldn't? Thanks, Eduard.
