Here's a position from a game I played in a tournament. White to play and win.

The position is already won for White, but there is a move that makes it even easier.

nice - just give black a N on a7 - then it becomes a 'genuine' dailypuzzle - then white needs the combination to win [true: the endgame isnt so easy then, Q for R and N, but it is *mere technique*. Or give white too an extra *pawn* on g2 - then this combination gives a routinely won ending - with the k-side pawns balanced, it becomes easy to convert the Q-side majority into a devastating passed pawn with Q v R+N..

Yeah, I just wanted to keep the position from the game. By the way, here it is a couple of moves ago (so you can see how all this odd stuff happened). The reason I didn't post this is because my opponent blundered so not everything was forced.
