Thank you pointing this out, so the line should be corrected. How about 4. a4 f4 5. a5 Rc1+ 6. Ke2 f3+ (6. Kd2 Ra1 and Kg4-f3) 7. Ke3 Re1+ 8. Kd2 Re2+ Great finesse Rb3!

The correct move is 7.Kd1 followed by 8.Rb3 to protect the pawn from Ra1. Keep up the good work. J-R Nicely commented endgame :)
