Why?

Ask your mother why a queen can't move from e8 to c3.

Yes, it's drawn now. I could just give the solution, but what fun would that be?

I'll give you a hint. It's been drawn since your first move.

n9531l1

I'll give you the key move and my reply, but you'll have to solve it on your own from there.

1. Kf1 Kg5.  Your move.

n9531l1

You should not believe everything the engine tells you.

Instead, I'll play White and try to win. You play Black and try to draw.

1. Kf1.  Your move.

I checked engine, it's drawn, the position is drawn, play the best moves and its a draw.

If you're ready now to win with White, we can start over. I'll try to draw with Black.

1. Kf1 Kg5.  Your move.

n9531l1

1. Kf1 Kg5  2. Kg2 Kf4.  Your move.  If Kf2, g3+.

n9531l1

I believe ChesswithNickolay and his engine have given up on this problem. Anyone who wants to can take over. If you want to try winning with White, I'll try to draw with Black. If you want to try drawing with Black, I'll try to win with White.

Well, let me try to win it, and you see if you can draw. It's a ways back so I'll show the position again below.

1. Kf1.  Your move.

 

White to play and win
