wd victor for demonstrating the win
nice
This puzzle is very easy to solve and requires minimal calculation... if you know your king and pawn endgames!
Here is the full calculation... it is only four moves deep! If you need to calculate further in any of the "final" positions, you don't understand K+P endgames and need to go study them first! If you're struggling, go watch IM Rensch's K+P endgame video series:
Ke6 and protects the d-pawn and will help him promote to a Queen (in 2-3 moves), which makes the situation pretty hopeless for black :)

best explanation so far, and miles ahead of the actual "solution"

solution It will show you Kd5.
well, if everyone's going to blame me, at least I had the courtesy to make a thread on the correct one. Please think of the effort I made :-)
P.S. And try to appreciate it .
To be honest - your puzzle has to have been the best in recent times on chess.com, albeit for unintended purposes. It got the community together to solve the puzzle properly, so it worked out rather well :-)

Well, you could at least edit your original post to show the correct solution to the puzzle. It would take, what, three minutes? Considering you had the time to reply in this thread...

Wow Tyzer - rather impolite and ungracious of you, don't you think?
Yeah I find it weird that some of the biggest egos show themselves on an online chess forum of all places
Its not impolite at all... edit the thread!
Sorry, but I see no need to be grateful for something that's been cobbled together without even checking - it's no more useful than the original puzzle which was in error. In fact, it may even be harmful, since it promotes an incorrect solution. Accuracy is all-important when it comes to chess. Like in a test, no one gets full marks for a long, detailed, "but I put in so much effort!" solution that also happens to be completely wrong.
In any case it's been a few days since this puzzle was posted, so by now it's probably becomes a moot point...there's usually little interest in a daily puzzle after a few days; which is kind of the point.

Yeah! We are some of the best chess players around! ^^_
heinzie -- It's not random, fruitless, yes, but it's the best move in terms of maximizing moves until checkmate. Of course, if that's your only strategy, you might as well resign. A master would not keep playing in this situation, perhaps that's what you meant. Nonetheless, Kc8 is what a computer would play.
yea, i dont think its impolite at all, and he's wright...

...You're a real jerk you know that?
I had to think for a long time before finding out the solution.
All you do is: Oh this is horrible! You know what? make your OWN thread Mr bigshot!
Let us have it! come on then!
Oh, can't do it?!
Well if ya have nothing nice to say don't say it ar all! >:-(
