OOoooh very nice, didnt recognise that pattern coming up. Whenever i try to create something like that, even if it "works", i cant get it to fully work as theres easily a better solution

Maybe because he considered it a "lighter" puzzle? still it was fun to solve, next time no puzzles modes please 

Yes, I think Shoopi is right   I was looking for a more difficult puzzle , and here it is , without solution :

White to move and win.

How this game will end ?

I don't think black can win, because his king is so far from white's pawns, so white can throw his rook for black's pawn, and then win with his two passers

On the 11-th move in Caiello's line black can play stronger and draw - how ?
