easy

easy to fall into the stalemate trap with Rxh7 instead of d7+.  A good lesson to always be on the look out for an accidental stalemate.

Good to solve.It has also another many many way......................

thanks for your way not to promote a pawn with Q,and someones correct method,was able to solve,rule of thumb,lesson from bill indirectly,thanks1,Kc6...Rh7,2.pd7+...Rd73.Rh8,as far as puzzle went but to mate.3.Rh8...Rd8,4. Rd8#

wow

Okay

Il faut savoir donner pour assurer le gain... bonne journée.

I've played several endgames like this. Two interesting checkmates - One with two pawns and one with a king and a rook (with a pawn for protection). Saw it right away.

Damn easy problem. Black is trying for a draw. Don't take the rook it would be stalemate.

nice one

would K move to Kb7,Kd7,on second move,he has a choice,or would Kd7 leed to # quicker,or stop pawn promotion?

nice

Shows the power of pawns.  I must be getting a bit better, I saw this one.

Nice

Nice puzzle.

nice stratogy,but how many people would have solved your way.mate in 4 is alot more efficient

@ paulified22: I just tried to show that even the worst move in the position (1.d7????) is winning. And by the way, I really wonder how many people found the mate in 4 directly. I first found 1.Rg6 as a winning option. Since "my" move was not accepted, I tried harder and only then found 1.Kc6 which I had first rejected because of 1. ...Rxh7

For such a position, it would be good to indicate "mate in 4", because, as already mentioned, any white move wins.

RXR stalemate.

buenisimo
