In this chess puzzle black’s king is surrounded and black’s only moves are b6 and g5. Can you find white’s sequence to mate in four moves?

now what?
perhaps:
If this were chess there is a mate in 6 with the queen taking all the e,f, and g pawns ending on e3 mate.
1. Qa1 g5 (or b6)
2. Qxe5 b6
3. Ka6 b5
4. Qxg5 b4
5. Qxf4 b3
6. Qxe3 mate
Which suggests:
1. Qd8 g5 (or b6)
2. Rd7 b6
3. Rd2 p(e3)xR(d2)
4. Qd4 mate

Thank you! Not sure what all the "mate in six" preamble was about, but I like the solution.

There have been suggestions (by Eon Musk!) of some sort of signalling device up his bum, with a mate elsewhere on a computer anal(!)ysing the game and sending him which moves to play. Neimann has offered to play naked and was actually scanned by security before taking his seat.
