Best of CLO

Chess Life Online (CLO, http://www.uschess.org/), edited by WGM Jennifer Shahade posts articles almost everyday, and at the end of the year, they have a Best of CLO.

I am one of the judges this year, and you can see the first article with pics of the judges and the also-rans here: http://uschess.org/content/view/12049/141

Yes, there is a picture of me about to ride a camel in suburban Dubai!

Here is puzzle #2, I hope you all enjoyed my first puzzle in my first blog.

    I think there may be a standard convention for endgame studies which indicates whether en passant is possible, instead of leaving the reader to guess.

    Yes, the en passant capture is not possible. If it was, the solution would be rather easy :)

    Should the puzzle indicate that 1. hg+ is not possible? Could not black have just moved the g-pawn two squares?

    White has 2 equally winning moves on move 5 of the puzzle... sorry if it won't accept one of them :)
