These pawns are powerful!

White has 3 connected pawns but of course black will do anything in his power to stop them. How can white win this?

1st move seemed obvious but the rest was a revelation. Good one, 😊

[@RamKumar-gy9nb]

Beautiful, I found the fist move right away. Then was going through the variations. Excellent puzzle as always. You are brilliant as always. Thank you very much.

[@donj2222]

Having the black pawn in the square the black knight wants to go to is impressive.

[@BillHimmel]

Very good one!

[@user-zm1lx9uq9s]

Fantastic!! Brilliant!! 😊

[@rogerkearns8094]

Tricky.

[@giovannicorno1247]

Advanced pawns are a terrible threat

[@quarter_s]

1:00 wish you had gone a little further after Kf7. C6 looks good, but if black trades on c6 he will stop white's last pawn with Ne7.

[@DonJC49]

Found c6.
The continuation was logical and straightforward.
Nice puzzle.

Oh my good lord. I'll be back in about four days when my head stops spinning!

[@michaelpustilnik6914]

I would have lost this . . .

[@aaaaa5272]

Genious!!

[@MichaelHarrisIreland]

Very interesting.

[@Ulrich_He_Kanal]

One more Variation which fails:
1. e7 Kxe7
2. c6 bxc6 would win for white, but
2. ... Kxc6! wins for black

[@MrGyges]

Sacrificing the PBI for victory as usual. 'Twas ever thus.

[@trex2621]

Don't get it... after d6 black can go c5. d7 Nc6 and it's over for white

[@Chess-strategy]

If black plays c5 there white simply takes the knight on e7 and black cannot stop the promotion on next move.
