When trying new things go wrong

I learned the trick to create a passed pawn a while ago and was excited to finally get a position where I could showcase my knowledge and superior end game skills.



It loses immediately lol. At least I did create a passed pawn. Just a shame it lost me the game.
If the Kings can stop the passed pawns - no that ain't work.

Caution: furthermore, with absent Kings, the pawns have to be on the 5th rank at least, not on the 4th like yours. Because Black is equally fast in that case either.



PS: in your game, I would have "stalemated" White on h1, then White has to move b4, ...cxb4, c5, ...b3, cxd6, ...b2, dxc7, ...b1Q#
