- Can you find the win for white here?
This study was composed by Leonid Kubbel in 1916.

Brilliant study, thank you very much.
I saw 1.e6 immediatly, without thinking, but did not see the move Ng5 and Nf3 (from the diagram). I think, Nf3 !! is the point of the study. As always Kubbel made a wonderful study with this point.
Many nice lines!
Wow! 1 horizontal + 1 vertical skewer ... Very artistic!
Very nice. Didn't solve it. One move for Black you didn't mention after Nf3 is e5, but then White has Rg6+, with yet another skewer of the king on the queen.
Hubble bubble toil and trouble, it’s a Kubbel ( Hooray! )
So what happens if along the main line, instead of the queen moving to b7 or c6, it sacrifices itself on d5. If you take with the rook, the pawn can then pick up the rook, threatening the knight, and while it might be winnable, it might also be a draw. Is there a better option than just trading the rook for a queen?

What goes wrong if you start rook to c7?
Yes, the direction of the pawns is obvious, so why do people with chess videos insist on telling us?
Are they jealous of flight attendants explaining how the seat belts work?
Hi there. I didn't explain this in the beginning of my channel but when I got more than 10 messages/comments/questions every week about the pawn directions I had to start showing this in my videos. I guess the same thing happens to other chess content creators also.
Instead of assuming all viewers are seasoned chess puzzlers, suppose this is the first chess puzzle video that someone sees in their feed; perhaps someone who hasn't looked at a chessboard since they were a kid, but the Algorithm (all hail its benevolent wisdom) thinks might enjoy them. Those extra few seconds take their impression from "I'm a little confused, maybe I should leave this alone" to "this is interesting, I'd forgotten how much I used to enjoy chess".
