Simple Imagination :-
1. Ka1 !! - Kh1
(1... Kxh3 would lose automatically because then the queen checks the black king from h4 to g1 and then bring the king to win - knight passer loses
for eg. 1...Kxh3 2.Qf3+ Kh2 3.Qf2 Kh1 4.Qh4+ Kg1 5.Kb1 -king comes like this)
2.Qe4 - Kh2 ( Kg1 loses in view of Qxh7)
3. Qe5+ Kh1 4.Qd5 Kh2 (Kg1-Qxb3) 5.Qd6+ Kh1 6.Qc6 Kh2
(Kh1 -h4 and the h-pawn would move to h5 then Qh4+ becomes possible as mentioned in move 1...)
7. Qc7+ Kh1 8. Qxh7!! - g1(Q) 9.Qb1!! 1-0
(the point of 1.Kb1 - 9 moves ahead!)

A now is see, you have to go to A1 with the King, i was looking to Kc1. Natural thing i thought was bringing the king in, but couldn't find a win.
