[Puzzle Road] Avoiding the stalemate! [21.08.2022]

Welcome to Puzzle Road!

We’re back to the endgames puzzles! Alright, today we will analyze one of the endgames I played today against a friend (this friend will recognize himself) and saw the right move, but still played a blunder… I seriously don’t know why I did not play that, what I calculated!

The move here does not allow Black to stalemate in this position. Moreover, maybe we can force our opponent to play nonsense moves? Let’s see how and why! But first, you will have to try yourself solving this puzzle. Else, it would not be called Puzzle Road!

Have an excellent day full of endgames!
Good luck!
