Can you win this endgame position as White?

[@pokethebear]

What happens if Black underpromotes to a Knight with a check? It only forestalls the inevitable for a couple of moves, or does it?

[@YourAverageChessPlayer]

Black seems to be in a zugzwang event after the knight promotion. a1=N+ Kc3 and Black has to play Kc1 which leads Re1# or Black plays Nc2 or Nb3 and the Knight is captured and then it's mate again. Nice try with the knight promotion though. Definitely did not cross my mind when I was recording.

Too much useless talk!!

U, should have made it, simple for our simple mind... I'll never, see this channel again!!

[@inyobill]

what's wrong with: wR - a1ch, bK - b2, wRxp, bP - d2, wR - d7. Black can't defend pawn on d???

[@YourAverageChessPlayer]

Black pawn to d2 is not forced. Black can play Kc3 and and after Rd7 play Kd2 and start queening the pawn

[@inyobill]

Shit I looked at it from opposite

Do u have fide rating

[@javiergilvidal1558]

What kind of stupidity is this? 1. Ra1+, Black moves. 2. RXP, Black moves. 3. Re7 and the second pawn falls. Then it´s a won endgame of King and Rook against King.

[@YourAverageChessPlayer]

Ra1+ Kb3 Rxa7 Kc3 Re7 Kd3 and black queens the pawn or white rook keeps giving check to stop the queening and it's a draw. Ra1+ does not work in this position

[@davidgriffith3938]

I don't understand any of this. Ra1+, followed by Rxa7, followed by Re7, blacks king cant get over to protect the pawn, so rook takes pawn next move, with an easy win following.

That looked impossible for White. Brilliant.

[@YourAverageChessPlayer]

Glad you enjoyed it 😁

Lots of ways to win this...🧐

[@YourAverageChessPlayer]

I thought so too when I looked at the position for the first time. Surprisingly there's only one!

[@pashapasovski5860]

Only move is rook check

[@YourAverageChessPlayer]

unfortunately that move ends in a draw
