obviously, there is a mistake in the subtitle

White to play and draw

this should be

White to play and win

of course. One says a good chess player learns from his mistakes, this is apparently not the case from the webmaster, since this happened several times already. By the way, when will the print button come back ?

1. Bg7 appears to draw easily. Wrong puzzle?

There is worse. About #250, EG 186 reports a cook (found my Mario Garcia) : 1.Nf8+ Kc6 2.h7 Bb2 3.Rc2+ Kd5 and now 4.Rxb2 Rg1+ 5.Ng6 Rxg6 6.Kh8 a1=R 7.Rb5+ with a desperado rook.
