Just a few pieces but still not easy to solve

[@venkateshas1381]

really strange moves by white king to earn a win. great puzzle, unbelievable.

[@LiamWakefield]

Pawn says "Look I'm so close, come and help me out. Hey! Where you going? Ohhh, I see. He he he".

D3 gets white King to B2 in 5 moves avoiding a fork, while F5 takes 6. This is the difference in the Black King getting into stalemate position or not. No i didnt get it, but I wanted to understand for future end game analysis of King races

Great great puzzle and lot of endgame learning there. Thank you very much and God bless you.

[@brettmccann3403]

One would think that with so few starting possibilities, even I could solve this one. Well, I did. It was "damn the forks, full speed ahead!"

[@MalcolmTroon]

So much to learn from just a seemingly simple puzzle.

[@puppetmaster579]

I saw d3 to avoid all the forks, but I didn't consider the alternative path of heading up to f6 which turned out not to work anyway. It's hard to be exhaustive if someone isn't giving you the answer.

❤ I love this already, will do it later today

[@rajsridha860]

6 moves - Ke5, f6, e7, d7, c6, b7, a8 5 moves - Kd3, c4, c5, c6, b7, a8

[@giovannicorno1247]

Really nice!

[@broniuszibaitis7246]

Good point

[@frankr5443]

Nifty puzzle. Quite nuanced.

[@Manish3177]

This was probably one of the easiest one you’ve posted because there there was only one piece to move with very few choices. The KF6 line can be discarded once you realize it’s the same position as KD3 transposed (3.5 squares from the knight) but costs an extra move.

[@exeterjedi6730]

That's a great puzzle.

[@StephenMcDonnell-h2y]

Very nice indeed.

[@ceejay0137]

A very subtle difference between the starting moves! Obvious once you'd explained it, but not to me by myself . . . 😞.

[@johnkay4701]

Ohhhh.... my head hurts!

[@kimbirch1202]

Got that straight away, as it was obviously quicker for the king

[@ralkadde]

Great puzzle! (By the way, the correct spelling of author's name is Josef Hašek.)

[@rubiks6]

c3 seemed obvious to me even before I thought it all the way out. I have to keep my king out of check and in between his king and his knight. Going down and around doesn't keep me between his king and his knight.

[@LiamWakefield]

Well I can tell you right from the first second of looking that I'm not moving the pawn on the first move 😂

[@UteAllef-wo5uj]

But almost ... we think about all the possible wrong moves and then are glad to see that we were so close to getting things right. And everything becomes so easy, when someone shows you how, n'est-ce pas? 🙂

[@arturosalas5399]

White king must avoid the L, as stated in Averbach's Elementary endgames.

[@rizka7945]

In de la Villa's "100 endgames you must know" as well.

[@tanaygaming1250]

I solved it in correct way

[@nikolatesla9046]

why black king goes closer just kill pawn with use to kinght??????

[@rogerkearns8094]

Hard to find that, clock running!

[@rizka7945]

Easy for those of us who know the 100 endgames you must know.

[@VeryGoodDeals]

dang it I thought I solved it
