    Here is a spectacular endgame study by B. Kozyrev and M. Gromov. I will include two lines. White to play and win. Hint: underpromotion at some point in each line.

    Thanks for this nice puzzle!

    What about 1...Ke1 or 1...Re2?

    If 1...Ke1, then White will play Bh4+ and eventually promote the d-pawn.

    If 1...Re2, then 2. Qxe2+ Qxe2 3. Nxe2 Kxe2 4. Kxc2 and White will promote his pawn soon.
