Hmm.. then how about this:

What if you're in a position where even if u wanted to you can't triangulate?

@aberki1234 Your mainline is wrong. 3. Kg2?? loses; 3. Kg4 draws.

After 4. Kf2 Kh5! and black wins by entering. 5. Kf3 Kh4; 5. Kg3 Kg5.

Good point I didn't see that. I knew Kg4 definitely drew, but I decided it was too simple. xD

Completed. Hard if you dont know triangulation, easy if you know it.
