    Maybe 1.b7 Kf7 2.b8Q Rxb8 3.Kxb8 Kg7 4.Kc7 Kh6 5.Kd7 Kxh5 6.Ke7 Kg5 7.Ke6 the famous Zugzwang… white wins… too easy somehow, did I overlook something?

    1.b7 0-0+

    1. b7, o-o+ 2. b8R! and white wins the pawn endgame.
    If 2. b8Q? then 2. …, Kh7! and if White doesn’t capture the rook (stalemate!), Black has won a saving tempo in the pawn endgame.

    Aha, how could I forget about castling? :)
    Anyway, a nice and relatively easy study, I will show it in my chess club :)

Got something to say?
