  Please come with some feedback. How difficult is it? There should not be any alternate, non-inferior solutions.

Wow. I've never seen anything like that before! And I thought anybody would be crazy to promote to knight!

Its all too easy to promote to Queen, in crowded positions a Knight is always worth looking at.

Up until the queen sacrifice, I wouldn't have been too impressed. But finish that was purty.

The first move is very obvious, but since it's forced from that point on I included it anyway

Since the black is forced to capture the queen with his rook,because he can't move his king away,there is nothing else to do.

I was thinking of promoting to queen and didn't see the double threat using a knight.

Very nice ending by the white.

I have promoted to a knight 1 time and the results were the same. It was an otb game and the look on the guys face was priceless. Not something that you can do all the time but so much fun when you can.

Great to get so much positive feedback. It is always fun to hear that what I do is appreciated. Should I consider to submit more puzzles, or even put this one in for future puzzle of the day?

Thanks, cuendillar, for this post and all your helpful comments on daily puzzles.

Blackout played some great looking, luxurious moves, indeed! Smile I did not see them until the system rejected my boring 29. Qh5+

No wonder he did, we were both in the very elite on that site, I actually nicknamed our games "the mini-match of brilliances". I might post my wins at a later stage.

Great post.  While forced, it still takes a good deal of thought to get through.
