To be able to find that in an actual game would take some serious calculation.

I really doubt it will actually happen in a real game

Nice puzzle! I'm happy to say I got it, however I'm not sure if I would have figured it out without the hint that there were 3 underpromotions.

 

As for chessmaster not being able to solve it, Glaurung 2.2 immediately detected the solution, and after a minute declared it mate in 31 (highest mate number I've seen on it through my use :D)

Fantastically creative puzzle, sir. Three underpromotions and four sacrifices!

Avatar of wubowen100

hope you enjoy the pzuule though.

there is another one (I saw in you tube) that for the same reason promotion of a queen wasnt possible, it must be a knight and a rook

How did Black's King get all the way in that corner and trap himself without taking out some pawns along the way?

And why would he jump in front of his a-pawn rather than promote it?

But those questions aside, it is a fun puzzle. I just wish it was from a real game :)
