Answers.Text: OP states that it should be Black to move first. Therefore, this answer is not valid. However, the position after 2.Kg6 can be considered valid, I guess.

Answers.Text: A general good idea for this type of question is checking https://ulthiel.com/math/other/endgames/ to see if there is a win at all. (Of course, the additional conditions by the asker make most of the known wins invalid.) Giving that the longest win for White is 36 moves, there must be an even trickier answer possible that the one by Noam.
