A reader, Rey Tomayo, whose correspondence I always enjoy, has written to say he would like to see some overwhelming odds puzzles. OK! We’ll start with an easy one: King and Pawn against EVERBODY!! And Black is threatening to queen three pawns!


- Solution: All right, the answer is just about forced on you, but it does meet the requirements. It was a composition by Kipping. You simply promote the pawn to a knight and checkmate next move on f7. Black, with all his power, can’t stop it.
