White can play Qg2 and then walk over with the king and capture the pawn. You should look up wins/draws with Q vs P on the seventh. Sometimes it's a win and sometimes it's a draw!

If you get your king to attack the pawn, then you can safely take it with the queen.

Is this a puzzle or a current game? hahahaha

Its a current game, but he already took the pawn with the queen.

i mean, i decided to take the slow route (sacrifice the queen capturing the pawn, promote another queen), but we were just curious if there was a faster way.

thanks for all the comments!

For everyone's info., the game is over. Justice... FWIW, I let Crafty (a decent chess engine) run this position for a while, it seems to think that b5 is hands down the best move in this position, and has white up by about 22 pawns.

On my quad core linux desktop, Crafty with endgame tablebases sees a mate in 8 moves.

 

15    50.96  Mat08   1. b5 Ke3 2. b6 Kf2 3. b7 g2 4. b8=Q g1=Q 5. Qf4+ Ke1 6. Qae4+ Kd1 7. Qc1+  Kxc1 8.Qc2#

wow.

well, i guess that answers that question.

thanks!
