Mr j,

Ive seen my fair share of chess puzzles and this one reminds me of a short demonstration of a puzzle found in youTube.

It also had the word "Grandmaster" in its title, AND the game looked awfully similiar to this one.......hmm.......is this original?

It's from a game the name of which I can't recall, but I didn't take it from a youtube video.

Its a easy win For white.

1.Rc6 b1 =Queen

2.Ra6+ Kb8

3.Rb6+ and white have the strong passed pawn along with night.

That doesn't work because 3...Ka8 4. Rxb1 is stalemate.

This position is a 1927 study by Evgeniy Somov-Nasimovich.

A 1940 study by the same composer can be seen on YouTube.

b4 is illegal. c5 loses. White's other five moves draw.
