Please do not cheat by using one of your top engines. this puzzle was given to a 10 years old prodigy and he solved it in 5 seconds. I noticed that the majority of of the members of this forum are lazy and immediately use their engine, but remember this was solved by a 10 years old prodigy 7 years ago.

With 2 black kings on the board, I doubt any engine would be useful...

This is the Kid who was 10 years old when he had a quick solving mind https://chessbase.in/news/54th-Biel-Int ... itz-report

And here he is when he was only 15 years old beating the next World Champion contender GM Nepomniachtchi

Hello:

I also played 1.- b6+. The key is not allowing to crown a black pawn in b1 in the same move (i.e. next ply) than the white pawn in h8, because h8=Q controls a1 but not b1.

I searched the position and it looks like the original problem had the white king in d8 in fact:

There is a nice research of the problem at a chess forum that I was not aware until now (ChessProblem.net):

I highly recommend reading that thread because it shows other very interesting related issues.

This position was presented to Young Nihal Sarin when he was 10 years old and if you look at the video the King was NOT in d8 as it was presented to him. Esta posición se le presentó al joven Nihal Sarin cuando tenía 10 años y si miras el video, el Rey NO estaba en d8 cuando se le presentó.


Some people are just born to have a great chess mind, amazing how fast he solved it, and when he reached 15 years he was paired vs GM Nepo , yes the next challenger to Carlsen title, and see how Young Nihal beat GM Nepo in Blitz. What a sharp tactical mind, he left GM Nepomniachtchi furious or surprised to be beaten looking left and right. and if you noticed young Nihal spent most of the time observing Firouza game on his right
