Great puzzle! My solution ended in stalemate.
Grandmaster Chess Puzzle
Sort:
Mr j,
Ive seen my fair share of chess puzzles and this one reminds me of a short demonstration of a puzzle found in youTube.
It also had the word "Grandmaster" in its title, AND the game looked awfully similiar to this one.......hmm.......is this original?
probably wasn't

It's from a game the name of which I can't recall, but I didn't take it from a youtube video.

Its a easy win For white.
1.Rc6 b1 =Queen
2.Ra6+ Kb8
3.Rb6+ and white have the strong passed pawn along with night.
That doesn't work because 3...Ka8 4. Rxb1 is stalemate.
Pretty hard but solved after 2mins

This position is a 1927 study by Evgeniy Somov-Nasimovich.
A 1940 study by the same composer can be seen on YouTube.

Nice puzzle !
Solve this
For my puzzle white moves first
b4
White is up a rook and knight in material, but black has a passed pawn, which coordinates with his king to prevent white from stopping it. How does white force a win?
