#224. White got a full point here with some adventures and pitfalls...

#222: I think this might be one of those fantastic miracle draws. 1. Kf4 White cannot stop the promotion. Instead he must play for his own. 1... e1=Q 2. Rxe1 Kxe1 3. g4 Now we are in a rook vs. pawn endgame. If we can keep the enemy king away from our pawn, we can force the rook to give itself up or give perpetual check! 3... Rd4+ 4. Kf5 Rd5+ 5. Kf4 Kf2 6. g5 Rc5 7. g6 Rc6 8. Kf5 (8. g7?? Rg6 and black wins!) 8... Rb6 9. g7 Rb8 10. Kf6 Ra8 11. Kf7 Rb8 12. g8=Q Rxg8 13. Kxg8. The other option was perpetual at any point, e.g. Rb7+ Rb8+ Rb7+ Rb6+... you get the picture.

Shouldering! Draw!

 I deemed it unnecessary as the technique is identical to #222.

Could you please post the solution to #224 though? I am intrigued. It looks pretty drawish, so I'd like to see how white forced it through.

Only one first move black lead to Draw! All others lost!

 So, I wanna see it solution from our players!

Show where black lost own chance!?

5... Ra6 looks like the best bet, but if you say it's a win for white, then I guess it is... just interested in this line, however.

#223: 1. g4! If this move isn't made the white king will reach the pawn in time. Other moves fail: 1. Kf5?? Kb5 2. Ra2 Rc5+ If the king runs to the 6th rank, Rc6+ followed by Ra6- if he runs to the fourth, Rc4+ followed by Ra4. The other try is an immediate Rxa7- 1. Rxa7 Rxa7 2. Kf5 Kd4 3. Kf4 Rg7 4. g4 Rf7+ 5. Kg3 Ke3 and it is an easy win for black from here.
