The pawn on e6 is certainly a bear, but it's quite clogged up on the kingside.  How to proceed?

That's a pretty sweet position. Instructive, too. Thanks for that.

I actually prefer to have the solution handy myself (this has been discussed on the forums before).

I had a look, but I cant find it now. But I certainly remember at least one occasion where I (respectfully) disagreed with NM tonydal on the same issue.

Solved it! only because I saw this problem before on chessproblems.com

Seriously?  Do you have a link for that, mf92?  I just came up with it myself (actually, it came out of my earlier post:  Intriguing Pawn Ending).

I agree with Tonydal w/r/t the issue. If I'm going to spend some time on a position, then I want to be able to look at the solution after I'm done with it. It's very frustrating to me when people only post a diagram and say "teehee! I know the solution, but I'm not going to give it until people massage it out of me with posts describing their attempts because I'm a cocktease."

Awesome puzzle! Very instructive too. I'm never going to look at king and pawn endgames the same way after this!

great thank u

great thank u

this puzzle is thinkable puzzle.

Couldn't find it but it was on www.chessproblems.com, the queen side didn't look like that, but the pawnbreaktrough idea was the same
