I'm a little confused. Seems you have the colors reversed. Do you mean that White queens one of the pawns but White will get mated after ...h1=Q+ ? If so, I think White's solution is
51. Bxg3 hxg3 52. b6 Kd5 53. b7 Rh8 54. a7 gxh2 55. Kh1
[pgn]
[SetUp "1"]
[FEN "2r5/8/P7/1P6/4k2p/6p1/5BKP/8 w - - 0 51"]
[Termination "unterminated"]
[PlyCount "9"] ...[text shortened]... Rh8 54. a7 gxh2 55. Kh1 *
[/pgn]
[fen]7r/PP6/8/3k4/8/8/7p/7K b - - 1 55[/fen]

Posting games and fens are really very simple (I can do it).
Download any free PGN viewer, then copy the postion, paste here.
8/8/4k3/4p3/4P3/4K3/8/8 w - - 0 1
surround the post with [FEN] and [/FEN]
[FEN]8/8/4k3/4p3/4P3/4K3/8/8 w - - 0 1[/FEN]
(Change the capitals to lower case - do a Reply and Quote to see it correctly)
You really should take the 5 minutes to learn how to do this because
you seem to get embroiled in some interestig games that never get
the full attention they deserve because of diagram less notes.
The position in question.
Hides this wonderful instructive line which would never see the light of day
without diagrams and the pgn thingy.
You cannot talk someone through this, they have to see it.
Knowing this will save someone ½ point in the future.

If you would direct your attention to the bottom of the screen there are four links.
1) Insert smiley
2) Insert link to a game
3) Insert board from [b]FEN
4) Insert board from PGN[/b]

Uppercase letters are white pieces and lowercase ones are black pieces. The numbers stand for the amount of squares that are empty between pieces. 8/8/8/8/8/8/8/8 means the board is empty and the far right of the fen string is black's side of the board from white's point of view.
So the array position is such. rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR
after this you comes who is to move which is simple. If white to move a "w" if black a "b"
so then it is like this rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w
Next is who can castle and on which sides. capital for white lower for black. K means kingside castling is available and Q means queenside. If both then KQ.
so the starting position becomes thus:
rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq
Move number is unimportant in an FEN and I never bother to use it.
here is an example position see if you can set it up on a board:
r3k2r/p1p2p2/Q7/7K/8/8/8/8/

Then go to the position you want, and click 'Copy Position to Clipboard'.
Edit - Oops, I just read that GP posted the same thing, and you aren't allowed to download things on to your work PC. In that case this is not too helpful. Sorry about that .. but still, thanks for posting the game, the final sequence is interesting.
