Nice distraction tactic in this one.
My best composed problem
Sort:
It looks quite straightforward: Kg5 and Black cannot defend his e pawn without allowing the knight to escape. If Black pushes his a,b pawns, that is again too slow or the knight escapes. That leaves pushing b and c pawns, but White king gets to d7 and some knight checks will prevent Black from queening.
On another site, if you want to advertise a book, you should give a reason for the customers to actually buy it. People would hardly be convinced if you say things like "I found a refutation to the Dragon, check my book for details" or "I have composed some truely amazing studies, check my book if you want to see them".

This problem is quite difficult to solve without a computer - I have given it to many fellow masters and experts so I know by trial. I submitted it to the FIDE Problem Composition site and the President of the Problem Composition confirmed that its idea, while not unique, was original. The idea presented by Bondecel is a good try, but the winning idea is not so straightforward.
He also suggested I give a reason to buy my book. As the author, I am a little prejudiced so that's not really my call (I did have a separate thread on the book already), but here goes: The book "A Guide to Chess Improvement" is a compendium of my best columns on how to improve (about 25% of 10 years of the column) at chess, published by Everyman Chess. The Chess Journalists of America has voted this column "Best chess column in North America" twice and "Best Instruction" six times. The book is not just s mirror of what you can find online, but it also contains three new columns, vastly updated and rearranged material, and any corrections we could make. It took over 100 hours to do all that, so it's all the award-winning material plus the extras. 
Best holiday wishes to all. USCF NM and FIDE CM Dan Heisman
I discuss the solution in my new book "A Guide to Chess Improvement" - Happy New Year to all - NM Dan Heisman
