A winning one.

FuzzleOIL, this one is for you. It may become your favorite position, because it is a winning one. But you will have to play carefully to win it.

White to play and win

What would black do next to prolong mate?

All three of Black's legal moves draw. Does that count as prolonging mate?

I guess...

Doesn't look drawn to me... 5. b5 Kxc3 6. b6 Kd2 7. b7 c3 8. b8Q and the king looks too close

Drawn Q vs P book ending. 

Going out now, I'll check later for you next try.

I was CLOSE!

I see now that you must change the move order, play 2. c3 and then put the king on F4. THEN THE KING IS CLOSE ENOUGH

1. Kg4 Ke3 2. c3 Ke4. What now?

What was it

Without the pawns, the R vs B position would be drawn. So we need Trexler3241 to show us his forced winning line.

And you have to play till mate

Oh, till mate?

Trexler3241

You can play 1.Rd8+ Qxd8 2.Nxf7+ 3.Nxd8.

1...Bxd8 2.Re8#

That is the correct line, but show me the technique of RPPvBPP after 1. Rd8 Qxd8 2. Nxf7+ Kh7 3. Nxd8 Bxd8

Traxler, your best bet is to give up and ask ry to show you the solution.
