Whenever your opponent has a loose Queen running around, and you have a King out in the open, it's easy to get chased around the board. Especially when you are so close to victory, which your opponent tends to keep you in check. Sometimes you don't have all the necessary pieces you need to thwart off an attack.
In this puzzle, you are close to a pawn promotion, yet white's King keeps you blocked. With a Rook on the 1st rank, defending a possible checkmate, white searches for another way to conquer you, before you conquer him. See if you can thwart white's attack, while coming out as the victor with an easy piece advantage.
(As of now, pieces are even, except you have one more pawn that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. The white Queen just moved from d6 - f8 attacking your Bishop and threatening an imminent check on your King.)
Difficulty: Easy
