Is it possible to promote this
Is it possible??
Sort:
Possible? Yes
Depends on which way white is going.
1. If the pawn is on a7 then yes.
2. If the pawn is on h2 then no (with proper play)
On a properly setup board that pawn can't be on h7. That would be a7 if black is on bottom.

If black is a good player you cannot win with white here. Check out some sources on King vs King and Pawn.

It's probably an honest question. I didn't know the answer either. I probably would have guessed no, but I don't know what best play for both sides would look like.

Come on man!! You really think someone plays for me?? Seriosly??
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
Plus, me and my friends tried our best to do it but always ends in draw.
I once encountered a player, better than me (~1500 USCF), who did not know very basic pawn endgame stuff. There does not seem to be an "endgame lesson #1" that one can dependably expect all "ultimate beginners" to have learned.

In an ideal world where everybody is taught chess perhaps everybody would know basic endgames. Some people (such as myself) have never been taught chess. I basically know nothing about endgames. I only fairly recently learned of the opposition.
That said, I agree with your first reply saying that he must be trolling. Just not for the reason that he will have been taught this. For the reason that any idiot who knows nothing about chess can see that that is drawn.
White cannot promote if the pawn is on b8. If it is on h1, he can promote.

OK, so you know the setup on a chess diagram always is with white on the bottom, unless stated otherwise... So no, it not possible, if you meant possible to win, ithe position as is, is a draw...
That's not true. The diagram doesn't indicate in any way which way around it is and the person posting it is under no obligation to do so either. The OP is stupid for not clarifying but what you said simply isn't true.

If the pawn were on b8, White would HAVE to promote. And I'd like to see how White could get a pawn on h1.
