    Very cool.  I didn't see that winning save on the fourth and fifth move.

    The only move seems to be f3, because black is threatning to play the line:

    1. ... f3

    2. e3 f4!

    3. exf4 e3

    and black wins. f3 is the only move.

    Wow, what an interesting variation! I found White's defense because I knew one was there, but I doubt I would have found it in a real game.

     

      4.fxe3? fxe3 5.Kf4 Kd2 6.Kf3 f4 -+

      4.f3? Kd2 5.Kxf4 Kxe2 -+

      4.Kxf4! exf2 5.Ke3! =
