Find the winning strategy for white!

We start this chess problem by facing a check to our king. From here we need to choose the right strategy to get away with victory!
This study was composed by the Alexey Troitsky 1912.

Nice one!

[@jamesdallas1493]

Thank you!👍👍👍

[@RamKumar-gy9nb]

Excellent puzzle, great for end game preparation and lot of learnings. Thank you very much and God bless you.

2:28 And idea Nd7+ Kc7 Nf8 Rh1 Ne6+ fails when black play Kd7 and next Kxe7

[@joeypahati3126]

After rh1; e8(Q) and the white king can go to e7 to get knight cover via Ne6+. Besides the black king cannot go to c7 while white's king is in d6

[@FatherManus]

Block with Knight!

Variation on Saavedra theme!😉🙂

[@zanti4132]

Actually, the Saavedra position is an example of the basic theme of this study, where the king "walks downstairs" to escape the rook checks!

[@michaeledwards2251]

I recognized from an earlier puzzle having the king on e5, and black rook on f6, would be winning. Once the pattern was recognized, sacrificing the knight was the obvious move.

[@Jan_Heckmann]

Wouldn't the Position at 5:16 be the best Study? We would have to walk our King to the Position, where this Video starts! Or doesn't it work?

[@Chess-strategy]

Yeah, I totally agree with you! That would have been so beautiful and hard. I don't adjust any original studies in my videos but for sure, that would have been an interesting variation.

[@ChatonEndormi]

Fine! Although IMHO, you get a better puzzle by putting the white king in f6 in the starting position

[@joeypahati3126]

Nf6 rxf6+; Kd5 rf5+; Kd4 rf4+; Ke3 rf1; Ke2!! and white's e pawn queens on the next move😅

[@joeypahati3126]

If the rook does not take the Knight and moves rh8 then Nd7+ followed by Nf8 blocking the rook and rh6+ is met by kd7 ending the rook threat

[@dianegrainger3905]

Had to look a bit farther with Rh1; e8/Q Rd1+; Ke7 Re1+ skewer; Ne6!! finally no more rook threat.
