ICCF Correspondence Play
Sort:
This position and another position was given before by a grandmaster for chess.com. I know this is bragging but am proud to say I found the solutions for both positions in about 10 minutes per position. So, sometimes a Septuagenarian can solve [some] chess positions better than the chess engines...

The g1 bishop doesnt move but to create reciprocl zugzwang. King picks up a pawn and promotes c pawn. Best chance, unless you want a draw!
not sure of the move order, possibly gain a tempo by playing f3 at some point!

Correspondence Play--ICCF US
Engines are allowed and used in ICCF US play. Playing, using chess engines as a help is sometimes called "Centaur Chess" At the highest levels of play--this kind of play is a search for the truth. Sometimes the play can be of a higher quality than of even some supergrandmasters.
Isn't that like using a dictionary at a spelling bee?
Yes, the answer is a line such as this:
1. f3 a4 2. Kf2 a3 3. Kg3 a2 4. Kxh3 a1=Q Kxg2 and the position is an absolute draw. And the chess engines show [at the end] Black is winning.
