There's a great history behind this study. Originally it was published as a clever drawing line for Black! White played 6.c8/Q and black answered with Rc4+ forcing a stalemate! Saavedra republished it as "White to play and win" if white correctly promotes to a rook

Did your source call it "Savendra"? Or did you misread it? Or did you mistype it? Or what happened?

I see that you tried to correct it in the title and text, but you misspelled it again.

I think it's all Saavedra's fault for having such an unspellable name
