White to Play

Pete Tamburro on

Published in Chess Puzzles

This composition by J. Brown requires you to think clearly. Yes, it seems like Black promoting that pawn to a queen will spell disaster, but perhaps White can salvage a draw…


1. 1.Nf6(or any other move that gets it to d5) f2 2.Nd5 f1=Q 3.Nc7 and all the queen can do is a perpetual check and draw because of the mate threat of a8=Q.
