Here is another not easy puzzle.

You can use chess engines,but I think,"human" kind of thinking is more proper here.

Let us say , real puzzle begins here: white played g7 and must win - how ?

Previous moves were just to dismay chess engines.

1. h8=Q a1=Q 2. Qxa1+Rxa1 3. g7 Rb1+ 4. Ka4Ra1+ 5. Kb5 Rb1+ 6. Kc6Rc1+ 7. Kd7

Here there is 7...Rc7+ and the rook takes the pawn g7.

1. h8=Q a1=Q 2. Qxa1+Rxa1 3. g7 Rb1+ 4. Kc2Rb2+ 5. Kd3 Rb3+ (5... Rxg2 6. Bh3! 6. Ke4

Here black can play 6...Rg3 and white has no chances.

You think in the right direction , but 9.Ka6 is not exact.

1. h8=Q a1=Q 2. Qxa1+Rxa1 3. g7 Rb1+ 4. Ka4Ra1+ 5. Kb5 Rb1+ 6. Ka6Ra1+ 7. Kb7 Rb1+

 8. Ka7Bg1+ 8... Ra1+? 9. Ba6+! )9. Ka6??

Here black can play 9...Rb6+ >>Rg6

Caiello - very nice. The trickiest moves are 8-11, you probably got the right idea there. Good job!

Congratulations to Caiello ! He solved difficult #91 Cool

I must say,the author of this puzzle is  V.Dolgov and the puzzle won 1st prize in a competition.

Just to say that white can take the bishop 22.Kxg3 and after that hide from checks on " f7 " .

Next puzzle coming soon .

Is this at all close to the answer?

The branch lines are correct but the main line ends suddenly at fourth move:

1. Kg4 Nf2+ 2. Kf3 Kg1  3. Bb5 Nh3 4. Kg4 Nf2+
